Best part of your trail mix? Is it the nuts, seeds, shredded coconut (unsweetened, please!) or those plump juicy raisins?

We know the unsalted nuts, seeds and coconut are great for our health, but those delicious bites of chewy goodness – raisins – pack quite a nutritional punch as well. So don’t be shy about your love for raisins. They’re not just for kids’ snacks and lunch boxes.

Are raisins good for you? You bet. They come from grapes, so they boast those same protective antioxidants. Raisins are dried white grapes, dried to produce a dark, sweet fruit, used in baked goods and sweet and savory dishes around the world. Raisins health benefits are many and we’ll get to those in a moment.

Which type is your favorite raisin? In the United States, the sultanas or golden raisins tend to be more popular. They are seedless, light golden in color, and plumper, sweeter and juicier than other raisins – and dried differently in production. Thompson raisins are the darker, larger raisons that are less sweet but still tasty.

Currants, along the same lines, come from red, seedless grapes. They are dried to produce a black, tiny, high-flavored little bundle, originally cultivated in the south of Greece. The name currant comes from the ancient city of Corinth.
