Candied Fruit
Candied fruit is coated with sugar or syrup before being dried making it high in calories and sugar. Common dried fruits contain 38–66% sugar, and eating too much of them may contribute to weight gain and various health problems. They also contain sulfites, which are used to keep prepared foods fresh but could cause allergic reactions. Additionally, many dried fruits are coated with inflammatory vegetable oils, adding unnecessary additional calories and fat.
