Is it okay to have dry fruits and nuts during the first trimester?

Although they are fruits, anything "dried" has more preservatives and high in sugar and I wouldn't recommend mummies to take to much of it. You could take some to kill your cravings but otherwise, I agree with the mummies above and would suggest you to get fresh fruits instead. Most canteens, hawker centres, food courts, and even cafes sells cut fruits so it should be pretty easy for you to get some during lunch time.
