The consumption of dry fruits, owing to their nutritional benefits, has garnered significant attention in recent times. This has led to a debate on whether they should be consumed soaked or dry.

While the practice of soaking dry fruits is often touted as beneficial due to its ability to enhance their taste and texture, as well as increase nutrient availability, some prefer the strong flavor and chewy texture of dry fruits.

Additionally, soaking dry fruits has the added benefit of reducing any dirt or pesticide residue present on the fruits. It is important to note that both soaked and dry fruits are calorie-dense and should be consumed in moderation as part of a well-balanced diet.
