Dried fruits hold a special place in many cultures worldwide due to their unique taste and nutritional value.

This results in a concentrated, long-lasting, and portable version of the fruit.

• Harvesting: Fresh, ripe fruits are picked from the orchard.
• Cleaning: The fruits are thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt and impurities.
• Drying: Fruits are dried using sun drying, air drying, or dehydrators. This process removes a significant portion of the water content.
• Packaging: The dried fruits are then packaged for sale. Proper packaging is crucial to prevent moisture absorption and maintain quality.

Factors affecting the quality of dried fruits include the quality of the fresh fruit, the drying technique, and the storage conditions.
