Raisins can contain up to 72% sugars by weight,[4] most of which is fructose and
glucose. They also contain about 3% protein and 3.7%6.8% dietary fiber.[5] Raisi
ns, 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.[6]
Data presented at the American College of Cardiology's 61st Annual Scientific Se
ssion in 2012 suggests that, among individuals with mild increases in blood pres
sure, the routine consumption of raisins (three times a day) may significantly l
ower blood pressure, especially when compared to eating other common snacks.[7]
Toxicity in pets[edit]Main article: Grape and raisin toxicity in dogs
Raisins can cause renal failure in dogs. The cause of this is not known.[8]
Sugars[edit]Raisins are sweet due to their high concentration of sugars (about 3
0% fructose and 28% glucose by weight). The sugars can crystallise inside the fr
uit when stored after a long period, making the dry raisins gritty, but that doe
s not affect their usability. These sugar grains can be dissolved by blanching t
he fruit in hot water or other liquids.
Grades of raisins in the US[edit]Grade A
The color is good, and the flavor is characteristic of raisins. These raisins sh
ow development characteristics indicative of the fact that they are prepared fro
m well-matured grapes (containing no less than 80% water by weight). The process
ed raisins contain less than 19% moisture by weight.[9]
Grade B
The color and flavor is reasonably good. These raisins show development characte
ristics that highlight the fact that the raisins were prepared from reasonably w
ell-matured grapes at least 70% water by weight. These raisins also contain less
than 19% moisture, by weight.[9]
Grade C
The color and flavor are fairly good. These raisins show development characteris
tics of raisins prepared from fairly well-matured grapes containing at least 55%
water by weight. These raisins also contain less than 19% moisture, by weight.[
9]
Substandard
Raisins that fail to meet the standards of Grade C.
