In this study, the moisture and biogenic element quantities of most wild and cultivated edible dried fruits were investigated. Macroelements found in highest amounts in fruits were K, P, Ca, and Mg. While K quantities of the fruits are recorded between 5212.77 (“white myrtle”) and 25550.60 mg/kg (“black nightshade”), P amounts of the fruits were characterized to be between 949.08 (black myrtle) and 4420.75 mg/kg (“black nightshade”). Ca and Mg amounts of the fruits were assessed to be between 359.83 (plum) and 4330.89 mg/kg (“yellow hawthorn”) to 214.98 (plum) and 1852.04 mg/kg (“black nightshade”), respectively. Fe and B quantities of the fruitss were established to be between 2.69 (“black myrtle”) and 60.13 mg/kg (cherry) to 3.76 (“black myrtle”) and 76.25 mg/kg (sour cherry), respectively. In general, except for white and black myrtle fruits, it is thought that other fruits can be good sources of P, K, and Fe. P contents of “laurel cherry,” “cherry,” “black nightshade,” and “Fragrant black grapes” were found partly high than those of other fruits. “Cherry laurel,” “sour cherry,” “cherry,” “pear,” “black nightshade,” “black fig,” and “hawthorn (yellow)” fruits contain more K than other fruits.
