9 Health Benefits of Eating Raisins Regularly, According to a Dietitian

Raisins are dehydrated grapes and come in two varieties: black (from red grapes) and golden (from green grapes). They are sweet—though they don’t contain any added sugar—and chewy.

Raisins are packed with minerals and antioxidants, contributing to many health benefits. There are many ways to enjoy raisins, including on their own, blended into foods, baked in baked goods, as a topping, or even as a mild sweetener in savory recipes.

Health Benefits of Raisins

Raisins are more than just a sweet and convenient snack; they offer many health benefits. Packed with essential nutrients like antioxidants, fiber, and minerals, they may boost heart health, support digestion, and help maintain blood sugar levels. Incorporating raisins into your diet can be a simple yet effective way to enhance your overall well-being.

1. They’re Nutritious

Raisins offer carbohydrates to support your energy needs and are packed with minerals and antioxidants that help your body function optimally and support overall health.

2. They Are Heart Healthy

Regular raisin consumption is associated with a lower risk ofheart disease. This may be related to raisins' nutrient content, specifically potassium, fiber, and phenolic compounds.

Incorporating raisins into your diet may help lower metabolic markers such as blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose and lower your overall risk for heart disease.

3. They May Benefit Digestive Health

Raisins have been shown to support digestive health. This is likely due to their presence of dietary fiber, specifically fructooligosaccharides (FOS).

Raisins have the potential to positively impact digestion and overall digestive health.

4. They May Support Bone Health

Raisins contain three essential nutrients for bone health: calcium, magnesium, and boron. These nutrients support both bone growth and maintaining bone mineral density.

The nutrients in raisins can help you maintain strong bones and reduce the risk of bone loss as you age. It’s important to note that raisins alone are insufficient to meet your calcium and magnesium needs.

5. They May Boost Skin Health

The antioxidants in raisins may support skin health in the following ways:

6. They Provide an Energy Boost

Raisins are an excellent source of carbohydrates, which are your body’s primary energy source. They can provide a quick energy boost with 31 grams of carbohydrates per quarter-cup serving. Many endurance athletes use raisins for energy during exercise, and they have been shown to be a good whole-food alternative to engineered sports products.

7. They May Support Immune Health

Raisins aren’t typically are not top of mind when supporting the immune system. However, their resveratrol content and other antioxidants may contribute to immune health. Resveratrol may benefit the immune system and help ward off disease.

8. They May Benefit Weight Management

Although raisins are more calorically dense than grapes, raisins appear to contribute positively to weight management.

While raisins can be part of a diet that supports weight management, portion sizes must be considered to avoid excess calorie consumption.

9. They May Help Anemia

Raisins contain 1 mg of iron per quarter cup, which is 6% of the RDA.Because of this, raisins can help you meet your iron needs and may play a role in preventing or treating iron deficiency anemia.

One recent small study tested using raisins and a sweetener in Southeast Asia known asjaggeryin treating iron deficiency anemia among female medical students. Combining these ingredients led to an improvement in hemoglobin levels (a measurement of a protein in the blood that carries oxygen throughout the body), whose low levels can indicate anemia. More research is needed to understand how raisins could be used to treat anemia among a wider population.

Ways to Incorporate Raisins in Your Diet

Raisins are a versatile dried fruit that can be added to both sweet and savory dishes—or enjoyed on their own.

While raisins offer many health benefits, it’s essential to be aware of the following as you consider incorporating raisins into your diet.

Summary

Raisins are an incredibly nutritious dried fruit that offer various potential health benefits. Research shows they may positively impact heart, digestive, skin, bone, and immune health. They may also reduce the risk of anemia and can support blood sugar management.

Raisins are calorically more dense than fresh fruit, so keep portion sizes in mind and consider pairing them with other protein-rich and lower-calorie foods to avoid excessive calorie intake. Raisins are generally considered safe for most people, but people with diabetes may need to limit portion sizes due to the high carbohydrate and sugar content.
