California Golden Raisins

While all raisins are generally high in natural sugar from grapes, raisins don’t provide added sugar. All raisins are similar nutritionally, so choose the one that fits your taste preference. Raisins may offer significant health benefits, such as a reduced risk for developing diabetes and heart disease, according to a review published in 2013 in the Journal of Food Science. However, because raisins are high in calories, avoid overeating them if you want to achieve or maintain a healthy weight. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 suggest getting two servings from the fruit group daily when eating 2,000 calories per day. One-half cup of dried fruit, such as raisins, counts as one serving of fruit.
