dry fruits
Dehydrated edible plants
Dry fruits can mean two different things depending on context.
In botany, dry fruits are fruits with hard, papery, or woody coverings rather than fleshy pulp—nuts, grains, and legume pods all qualify.
In culinary use, especially in South Asian English, dry fruits means dried fruits and nuts eaten as snacks or used in cooking: She added dry fruits to the rice pudding.
The term often appears on packaging for trail mixes and similar products.
