Raisins Unsulphured

Raisins are dried grapes. They are made by drying whole grapes, typically in the sun or in food dehydrators. The drying process concentrates their natural sugars and nutrients.

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

Raisins are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated raisins. While they contain natural sugars, they are also a whole food with beneficial nutrients.
