Raisins are dried grapes, produced by sun-drying or mechanically dehydrating fresh grapes until most of their water content is removed. They are widely used in baking, trail mixes, cereals, rice dishes and salads, and are a common snack on their own. Per 100 g, raisins provide 256 kcal, 3 g of protein, 1 g of fat and 62.6 g of carbohydrates, virtually all of which comes from sugars (62.6 g), with 2.7 g of dietary fibre. The drying process concentrates nutrients considerably, making raisins a notable source of potassium at 889 mg per 100 g, along with 101 mg of phosphorus and 58 mg of calcium. No glycemic index value is provided in the data. Raisins are suitable for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and Mediterranean dietary patterns.
