Raisins

Raisins are dried grapes commonly used in baking, cereals and as a sweet snack; varieties include regular dark raisins, golden raisins and sultanas. They are energy-dense because the sugars are concentrated during drying, and provide a small amount of fiber and minerals — notably 749mg of potassium per 100g. While not a significant source of protein, raisins do contain plant polyphenols that act as antioxidants and can contribute modestly to the micronutrient content of a meal.
