Our raisins come from Chile and Turkey, where grapes are dehydrated in order to obtain the end product.
Raisins are soft and sweet; they are the perfect choice for a healthy snack, but they can also be used as an ingredient in both sweet and savoury recipes.
Raisin is popular among athletes for its high energy content, and for helping keep bones, muscles, and the cardiovascular system healthy.
From a nutritional point of view, raisins are mostly made of carbs in the form of simple sugars; they contain hardly any fats, and have a small amount of protein and some fibre. They are, however, rich in minerals including iron, potassium, sodium, calcium, and phosphorus, and vitamins, especially vitamin E, which has a strong antioxidant effect, and group B vitamins, which are essential to keep the nervous system and red blood cells functioning correctly.
