Frequently Asked Questions
Are raisins good for you despite being high in sugar?
Raisins are nutritious in moderation. While high in natural sugars, they provide fiber, potassium, iron, and antioxidants. Studies show they don't spike blood sugar as much as expected due to their fiber content and antioxidants.
What's the difference between raisins, sultanas, and currants?
Raisins come from various grape varieties and are typically dark. Sultanas (golden raisins) are treated with sulfur dioxide to preserve color. Currants are made from small Black Corinth grapes and are smaller and tangier.
