Small but mighty! Sweet and healthy raisins are a concentrated product rich in energy, fibre, vitamins and minerals.
Advantages of raisins:
Raisins are rich in magnesium, fibre, polyphenols, phenolic acid, tannins and antioxidants. Not only that, they also have a low glycaemic index.
Raisins are not only good for athletes, but also for those who take care of their heart. They are fat-free but high in potassium, which helps control electrolytes in the body and is essential for the heart muscle to work.
Raisins are also great because they are heat resistant, so they can be eaten not only as a snack, sprinkled on salads, but also added to casseroles or stews. They can be taken on trips where temperature fluctuations are unavoidable.
Raisins should be consumed in moderation as they are naturally high in sugar and fructose, which can cause bloating in some people.
