In the framework of this postgraduate thesis, the nutritional value and quality of the dried fruits and vegetables were examined. Scientific data and consumer opinions have been studied and evaluated. This was done using questionnaires that were carefully compiled and distributed to a number of people of different ages. After the responses were collected, they were studied and produced some results for consumers' eating habits as regards dried fruit. In general, the results were at normal levels. The majority of respondents showed favor in eating dried fruits and vegetables. As the results showed, respondents consider it healthy, with many antioxidant properties and high nutritional value. This was evaluated by gender, age, educational level, way of life, etc. . What has been observed is that people with a high level of education have shown a greater impact on fresh fruits than on dried ones, yet they would pay more for dried ones because of their high nutritional value
