Winter is a lovely season and there are many things that we love about winters such as warm clothes, foggy nights, coffee, bonfires, BBQs and dry fruits. Dry fruits are simply loveable in winters. At the start of the season people stock up dry fruits at home to enjoy the cold, with the heater on. Dry fruits are a perfect winter snack and can be easily carried also in small packets of coat pockets. Dry fruits taste even better along with a cup of hot coffee or tea. Kashmiri chai which is also known as pink tea is also very popular in winters.
Dry fruits in winters are really good for skin in winters. The skin tends to dry out more in winters and the oils in dry fruits prevent skin from drying. Most common dry fruits are Nuts, Almonds, Cashew nuts, Walnuts, Raisins, Dried apricots, Pistachios, Prunes, Peanuts, Dates and Coconut. These dry fruits carry a lot of minerals and fibers too which are really good for health. They consist of vitamins like A, B1, B2, B5, B6, B9, C and E. Dry fruits are good for a better and complete diet. Dry fruits are not just a winter snack but can also be taken for a complete diet such as dates are a dry fruit but one date is said to be equal to an entire meal.
Dry fruits are like a norm in winters; it is an activity when the entire family sits together by the fire and eats dry fruit and interacts with each other. Students are often caught hiding dry fruits in their pockets and eating in the classrooms. Another advantage of dry fruits is that they purify blood. Dry fruits can also be a nice present to give to your loved ones in winters. Instead of taking something sweet to someone’s house in winter dry fruits can be a better option. These days there many pretty gift boxes available in the market in which they can be packed.
