Dry fruits like almonds, walnuts, dates, raisins etc. are traditionally known to be a powerhouse of nutrients. These dried fruits have the same benefits as fresh fruits. The present investigation aimed to assess the nutritional value of Fig, Almond, Cashew nut, Groundnut, Walnut, Raisins and Dates. The present study is focused on the estimation of iron, calcium, oxalate and moisture content of these dry fruits. Dates is found to be rich in iron compared to other dry fruit samples followed by Raisins, Figs, Nuts and the least comes for Almond. It was found that Fig is rich in calcium compared to other samples. It was found that walnut is rich in oxalate whereas cashew nut contains less amount of oxalate. Moisture content is also varying from sample to sample.
