Raisins are dried grapes, known for their natural sweetness and chewy texture. Originating from ancient civilizations such as Egypt and Persia, they are a staple in global cuisines, especially in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Indian dishes. Raisins are rich in essential nutrients, including fiber, iron, potassium, and antioxidants. They are free of added sugars but are calorie-dense due to their natural fruit sugars, making them a quick source of energy. Their fiber content aids digestion, and antioxidants support overall health. However, overconsumption can lead to excess calorie and sugar intake. Raisins are versatile, widely used in baking, trail mixes, cereals, and savory dishes. Choose varieties without added sugars or coatings for a healthier option.
