Raisins provide us with many essential nutrients and their daily consumption can offer several health benefits.
Raisins are a good source of iron, antioxidants, calcium and Vitamin C. Potassium and magnesium are also present, in smaller amounts, in raisins. The high fiber content, combined with sugars and calories, make them an ideal energy snack during exercise such as hiking.
Raisins are also an excellent source of fiber. Fiber is very important for the body as it reduces inflammation and improves gastrointestinal health. A small amount of raisins covers our daily fiber needs.
