Dried Seedless Grapes

Dried seedless grapes, commonly known as raisins, are produced by dehydrating seedless grape varieties. This process concentrates their natural sugars and flavors, resulting in a chewy texture and sweet taste. They are a natural source of carbohydrates and fiber.

Raisins are often used as a natural sweetener and flavor enhancer in a variety of foods. Their chewy texture also adds a pleasing mouthfeel. They are frequently found in baked goods like cookies and muffins, as well as in trail mixes, cereals, and snack bars.

Dried seedless grapes are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of natural sugars and calories. While they contain beneficial nutrients like fiber and potassium, their concentrated sugar content means they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. JECFA has evaluated dried grapes and found no safety concerns.
