Raisins are dried grapes, commonly enjoyed as a sweet snack or versatile ingredient in various cuisines worldwide, from Middle Eastern dishes to American baked goods. Originating from ancient Persia and Egypt, raisins were among the earliest preserved fruits. Naturally rich in nutrients, they are an excellent source of energy, fiber, iron, potassium, and antioxidants. Their concentrated sugars make them a quick fuel option, while the fiber supports digestive health. Despite their health benefits, raisins contain high levels of natural sugars and calories, so portion control is recommended for those monitoring sugar intake. They’re often used in oatmeal, salads, curries, trail mixes, and desserts, offering a chewy texture and burst of sweetness. Raisins are commonly free of added preservatives when naturally sun-dried, making them a wholesome alternative to processed snacks.
