Five A Day- Just 30g or a small handful of raisins counts as 1 of your 5 a day
Vegan on Female First
Small yet mighty- Raisins are a source of fibre and contain a variety of different vitamins, and minerals including potassium and iron
Energy- Raisins are a natural source of energy
GI- Raisins have a medium glycaemic index, meaning they release their energy more slowly than many processed foods
Blood sugar- Snacking on a small portion of raisins, as opposed to processed 'junk food' snacks, may lead to lower blood sugar levels
All natural- Raisins contain only naturally occurring sugars and do not have any added artificial flavours or colours.
Free From- Raisins are naturally gluten and lactose free, meaning they are ideal for people who suffer with Coeliac Disease or lactose intolerance as well as vegans.
Versatility- Raisins are great baked into banana bread, breakfast muffins or in 3 ingredient cookies (mashed banana, oats & raisins - plus cinnamon!) or as an addition to porridge or overnight oats. They also work well in no bake nut butter ball recipes as they add a natural sweetness and chewy texture.
California Raisins are a sunshine fruit, naturally dried and instinctively sweet, making them an ideal ingredient for chefs and bakers, as well as a delicious on the go snack. California Raisins are an ideal sugar substitute and can also be used as an added ingredient in both sweet and savoury dishes. However they are used, California Raisins provide energy as well as fibre, vitamins and minerals.
