Almonds

Almonds contain relatively high levels of vitamin E. Vitamin E contains antioxidants, such as tocopherol. One ounce (28.4 g) of plain almonds provides 7.27 milligrams (mg) of vitamin E, which is around half a person's daily requirement. Vitamin E and other antioxidants help prevent oxidative damage in the body.
The US is the dominant producer of almonds in the world, California being the primary producing region. When production reduces in California, the effect impacts on the global market and the price of almonds increase. Such case happened in 2015, resulting in an increased demand of almonds worldwide. The US cultivates the sweet variety of almonds for food purposes either locally or internationally.
Origin: USA, Spain, Iran, etc.,

Walnuts

Walnuts are a tree nut belonging to the walnut family. They originated in the Mediterranean region and Central Asia and have been part of the human diet for thousands of years. These nuts are rich in omega-3 fats and contain higher amounts of antioxidants than most other foods.
Walnuts are cultivated mostly in China, Iran, US, Turkey and Mexico. Black and English walnuts can grow throughout the United States and Southern Canada. However, major walnut commercial orchards are found mainly in California, but also in Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, Missouri and Iowa.
Origin: USA, China, Turkey, Mexico, etc.,

Cashews

The cashew tree is a tropical evergreen tree that produces the cashew seed and the cashew apple.
The species is native to Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and northern South America, including northeastern Brazil. Portuguese colonists in Brazil began exporting cashew nuts as early as the 1550s.
Cashew nuts are nutritionally much the same as other nuts: they are high in fat (around 50 percent), rich in vitamin E and a good source of minerals, particularly magnesium and zinc. While high in fat, all nuts are ranked highly for their healthy unsaturated fats. Major producers include Vietnam, India, and Ivory Coast.
Origin: India, Vietnam, African Countries (IVC, Ghana, Tanzania, Senegal) etc.,

Brazil Nuts

Brazil nuts are tree nuts native to the Amazon rain forest in Brazil, Bolivia, and Peru. Their smooth, buttery texture and nutty flavor are typically enjoyed raw or blanched. These nuts are energy dense, highly nutritious, and one of the most concentrated dietary sources of the mineral selenium. Selenium is used by the body in antioxidant enzymes that protect against damage to tissues done by oxygen, and in an enzyme that affects growth and metabolism. Not eating enough selenium can cause heart problems and muscle pain.
The Brazil nut is native to the Guianas, Venezuela, Brazil, eastern Colombia, eastern Peru, and eastern Bolivia. It occurs as scattered trees in large forests on the banks of the Amazon River, Rio Negro, Tapajós, and the Orinoco.
Origin: Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, etc.,

Hazelnuts

Hazelnuts, also known as cobnuts or filberts, hazelnuts are good eaten raw but the flavor takes on a more mellow, sweeter character when they are roasted. Like almost all nuts, they have a high fat content, which means they'll go rancid pretty quickly if not refrigerated. Hazelnuts are rich in protein, monounsaturated fat, vitamin E, manganese, and numerous other essential nutrients. The main hazelnut producing countries are Turkey, Italy, Spain, USA and Greece. Although hazelnut is also produced in the Former Soviet Union, Iran, Romania and France, these countries do not have a major input in the world hazelnut trade. Turkey is the first world hazelnut producer and exporter.
Origin: Turkey, Italy, Spain, USA, etc.,

Raisins

Despite their small size, raisins are packed with energy and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Raisins are naturally sweet and high in sugar and calories, but they're beneficial to our health when eaten in moderation.
In fact, raisins can aid digestion, boost iron levels, and keep your bones strong.
They contain good amounts of iron, copper, and vitamins that are essential for making red blood cells and carrying oxygen throughout the body. Raisins contain substantial amounts of beneficial minerals, such as iron, copper, magnesium, and potassium. The majority of grapes used for making raisins in the United States are grown in California. This area has an ideal climate for grape growing because it has plenty of sun during the summer and very mild winters.
Origin: Turkey, US, Iran, Greece, etc.,

Sultanas

Sultanas are made from green seedless grapes, particularly the Thompson Seedless variety. Unlike raisins, sultanas are typically coated in an oil-based solution prior to drying to speed up the process. For this reason, they are often lighter in color than raisins and currants. The sultana is a "white" (pale green), oval seedless grape variety also called Thompson Seedless (United States), Lady de Coverly (England), and oval-fruited Kishmish (Iraq, Iran, Israel, Palestine, India). It is also known as İzmir üzümü (grape of İzmir) in Turkey since this variety has been extensively grown region around İzmir.
Origin: Turkey, US, Iran, Greece, etc.,

Cranberries

Cranberries are well known for the health benefits they provide. The small, tart berries are rich in vitamin C and have high amounts of pectin, a polysaccharide that thickens when heated. They are a good source of dietary fiber and manganese, and contain vitamin E, copper and potassium. Cranberries are grown through the northern part of the United States. The major production areas are New Jersey, Massachusetts, Oregon, Washington, Wisconsin and the Canadian provinces of British Columbia and Quebec.
Origin: USA, Canada, Chile, etc.,

Prunes

Prunes are a good source of energy, and they don't cause a rapid hike in blood sugar levels. Prunes have a high sugar content, which allows them to be dried without fermenting. They're also high in fiber, which can help you regulate your bowels and your bladder. Research by the University of Liverpool has found that eating prunes as part of a weight control diet can improve weight loss. Consumption of dried fruit is not readily recommended during weight loss despite evidence it enhances feelings of fullness. Prune trees are optimally suited to dry climates, and a major production area for prune trees is California, which has little rainfall.
Origin: USA, Chile, France, etc.,

Apricots

Apricots are a great source of many antioxidants, including beta carotene and vitamins A, C, and E. What's more, they're high in a group of polyphenol antioxidants called flavonoids, which have been shown to protect against illnesses, including diabetes and heart disease. The apricot was originally domesticated in China but is now cultivated on every continent except Antarctica. Archaeological evidence shows that apricots were eaten in ancient Armenia, and they were first introduced to the New World in the early 18th century by Spanish missionaries in California. The top producers of apricots include Turkey, Iran, Uzbekistan, Italy, Algeria.
Origin: Turkey, Iran, Uzbekistan, Italy, Algeria, Pakistan, France, etc.,
