Are raisins healthy?

Absolutely—raisins have many health benefits! Raisins are a low fat food and provide less than 120 calories per serving. They contribute to a daily intake of fiber, essential minerals and vitamins, and antioxidants. Plus, Sun Maid Raisins are Non GMO Project Verified and made with whole fruit and no added sugars.

Are Raisins Grapes?

They sure are. Raisins are simply dried grapes. Most raisins come from the Thompson Seedless Grapes variety. Due to the dehydration that takes place in dried fruits, raisins have more concentrated nutrition levels than grapes, making them a natural, nutritious, easy, and healthier snack for kids and adults alike.

What are raisins good for?

Besides being a tasty and healthier snack all on their own, raisins are a welcome addition to many recipes. Due to their natural sugars, raisins are a useful component in delicious breakfast ideas, like sprinkling over granola or adding to oatmeal. Raisins are also a popular item in yummy snack and dessert recipes. No matter if you’re cooking with them or eating them on their own, raisins truly are an incredibly versatile dried fruit.
