Every dried fruit product broken down by portion, with free sugar explained and portion guidance compared against fresh equivalents.
Drying removes water and concentrates everything else, including sugar. Dried fruit sugar counts as free sugar under NHS guidance, unlike the sugar in whole fresh fruit.
A 30g portion of raisins carries roughly the sugar of a large bunch of grapes, in a form that takes seconds to eat rather than minutes.
The recommended portion is around 30g, which is a small handful and considerably less than most people pour.
Dried fruit is sticky and adheres to teeth, which is why NHS guidance suggests eating it at mealtimes rather than as a between-meal snack.
Fibre, iron and potassium are retained through drying, so the nutritional case is real. It is the portion and the timing that need care.
Each product page includes a full nutrition breakdown per serving and per pack, portion size comparisons, age-adjusted NHS daily reference intake calculations for children aged 4 to 17, an interactive calculator for your child's specific age and gender, and a complete ingredient and allergen guide.
