5 Dry Fruits Indians Eat Wrong – #3 Will Shock You

Dry fruits are packed with nutrients, but most people in India eat them the wrong way, reducing their real benefits. Here are the top five mistakes almost everyone makes.

1. Almonds – Eating Them Dry
Most people eat almonds straight from the packet, but the correct way is to soak them overnight. Soaking removes tannins from the skin, making digestion and nutrient absorption much easier.

2. Cashews – Eating Too Many at Once
Cashews are healthy, but high in calories. Eating large handfuls can cause bloating and weight gain. The ideal portion is 4–5 cashews per day.

3. Raisins – Eating Without Soaking (Big Mistake!)
Raisins contain antifungal and preservative chemicals. When eaten dry, they can cause acidity. Soaking raisins for 4 hours boosts their iron absorption and makes them great for digestion.
This is the most common mistake Indians make.

4. Walnuts – Eating Them in the Morning
Walnuts can cause heaviness if eaten on an empty stomach. The best time to consume them is after lunch to support brain and heart health.

5. Pistachios – Eating Salted Versions
People love salted pistachios, but excess salt leads to bloating and high BP. Choose unsalted pistachios for better nutrition.
