Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Black Raisin
Metabolic Effect: Provides quick energy due to its high sugar content, but helps to keep blood sugar balanced thanks to its fiber content. The iron it contains contributes to energy production.
Consumption Suggestion: It can be consumed alone as a snack or with foods such as yogurt or oatmeal. It is ideal for getting energy before exercise.
Things to Consider: Overconsumption should be avoided due to its high sugar content. A handful of raisins is equivalent to approximately one serving of fruit.
Exercise Equivalent: Consuming a handful of raisins can be burned off by about 35 minutes of light-paced walking. This helps balance daily energy intake.
