Raisins are dried grapes that concentrate natural sugars and nutrients. They're a convenient, shelf-stable snack packed with energy, potassium, and iron, commonly used in baking, trail mixes, and as a natural sweetener.
Raisins are nutritious in moderation. While high in natural sugars, they provide fiber, potassium, iron, and antioxidants. Studies show they don't spike blood sugar as much as expected due to their fiber content and antioxidants.
Raisins come from various grape varieties and are typically dark. Sultanas (golden raisins) are treated with sulfur dioxide to preserve color. Currants are made from small Black Corinth grapes and are smaller and tangier.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Refrigerate for up to 1 year. If raisins dry out, soak briefly in warm water to rehydrate.
