Now here it is very important to mention about a myth that dry fruits cannot be used in summers. There is no scientific base reality, the issue is that these dry fruits are completely saturated with nutrients and thus making them small energy packets.

 In summers our body is already going through high level of homeostasis to keep a balance with surrounding temperatures. Therefore when excessive amount of dry fruit is used it increases the work of organs to break them down and use as a source of energy in the body. With this the dried water level in dry fruits also become a dehydrator when our body's water is consumed to break it down and digest it. Therefore if you are having these energy packages in summers then make sure to drink a lot of water to keep your body hydrated.
