Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Raisin

  • Metabolic Effect: Raisins contain a high amount of natural sugar and provide quick energy. Thanks to the fiber it contains, it helps to keep blood sugar balanced, but excessive consumption can cause sudden spikes in blood sugar.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming raisins alone, consuming them with foods containing protein and healthy fats will better balance blood sugar. For example, you can consume a handful of raisins with a few almonds or walnuts.
  • Things to Consider: A handful of raisins contains approximately 20 grams of sugar, which meets a significant portion of the daily sugar requirement. It is important for individuals with insulin resistance or diabetes to pay attention to portion control.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories from a handful of raisins, you need to walk for about 15-20 minutes. This both increases your energy level and helps with weight control.
