About This Food

Raisins are dried grapes, widely consumed around the world, especially in baking and as a snack. The calories in raisins is 128.6. They are a good source of carbohydrates for energy and provide some fiber, contributing to digestive health. Raisins also contain iron, which is important for oxygen transport in the blood. They offer antioxidants like resveratrol. Raisins are suitable for most people in moderation but should be consumed cautiously by individuals with blood sugar concerns due to their natural sugar content. A small handful, about 1/4 cup per day, is a reasonable serving. While raisins can be part of a balanced diet, their calorie density makes them neutral for weight management. I suggest you pair them with nuts for a more satiating snack.
