Sun Dried Raisins

Sun-dried raisins are simply grapes that have been dried, either by the sun or using dehydrators. This process concentrates their natural sugars and nutrients. They are a type of dried fruit.

Raisins are often added to foods for their natural sweetness and chewy texture. They are commonly found in baked goods like cookies and muffins, as well as in trail mixes, cereals, and some savory dishes.

Raisins are a source of fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. The FDA considers dried fruits, including raisins, to be a safe and nutritious food. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated raisins and found them to be safe for consumption. While generally considered healthy, their concentrated sugar content means they should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
