Are your dry fruits sulphur-free?

Yes. Chau Foods dry fruits are sourced and packed without sulphur dioxide (SO₂) as a preservative. Many commercially available dry fruits use SO₂ to extend shelf life and preserve artificial colour, but this can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Our products are naturally dried.

Are raisins good for anaemia?

Yes. Raisins are one of the best plant-based sources of iron. Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anaemia, especially in women and children. Regular consumption of raisins, especially soaked raisins on an empty stomach, supports healthy haemoglobin production.

Can diabetics eat dry fruits?

In moderation, yes. Dry fruits contain natural sugars but also fibre, which slows sugar absorption. Small portions - 30-40g per day - are generally safe. Raisins and dates have a medium glycaemic index. Always consult your doctor or dietitian for personalised guidance.

What is the difference between golden raisins and regular raisins?

Golden raisins (sultanas) are made from green grapes and have a lighter colour and slightly sweeter, milder flavour. Regular (dark) raisins are made from red or black grapes and have a more intense flavour. Nutritionally they are very similar. The golden colour in commercially produced versions is sometimes achieved using sulphur dioxide.

How many dry fruits should I eat per day?

A healthy daily intake of dry fruits is 30-40g (about a small palmful). This provides fibre, vitamins, and natural energy without excessive sugar or calories. Portion control is important as dry fruits are calorie-dense.
