Dried fruit should be seen more like sweets than fresh fruit, a nutritionist told Yle News, pointing to dried mango as an example that can contain more sugar than Coca-Cola.

The comparison is meant to remind consumers that drying concentrates sugar, making portions easy to underestimate even when the product sounds healthy.

The advice comes as many shoppers look for convenient snacks, but the message is that dried fruit is not automatically a low-sugar choice.
