Raisin Cluster

Raisins can contain up to 72% sugars by weight,[6] most of which is fructose and glucose. They also contain about 3% protein and 3.7%–6.8% dietary fiber.[7] Raisins, like prunes and apricots, are also high in certain antioxidants, but have a lower vitamin C content than fresh grapes. Raisins are low in sodium and contain no cholesterol.[8]

Data presented at the American College of Cardiology’s 61st Annual Scientific Session in 2012 suggest that, among individuals with mild increases in blood pressure, the routine consumption of raisins (three times a day) may significantly lower blood pressure, compared to eating other common snacks.
