The shriveled yellow, brown, or purple morsels known as raisins are
actually grapes that have been dried in the sun or in a food
dehydrator.
Raisins are commonly used:
as a salad topping
mixed into oatmeal
in yogurt
in granola or cereal
You also may have eaten them baked into delicious cookies, breads,
and muffins. Despite their small size, raisins are packed with
energy and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Raisins are naturally sweet and high in sugar and calories, but
theyre beneficial to our health when eaten in moderation. In fact,
raisins can aid digestion, boost iron levels, and keep your bones
strong.
So the next time youre craving candy or sweets, consider munching
on some raisins to satisfy your yearning. Your body will reap the
healthy benefits.
