Sultana raisins, made from dried seedless grapes, are rich in natural sugars, fibre and important nutrients such as potassium, iron and antioxidants. They are said to support digestion, improve heart health by lowering bad cholesterol and provide quick energy, making them a popular snack. Sultanas may promote skin health and strengthen bones.
They are versatile and can be used for baking, cooking, salads, cereals or as a sweet snack, making them a convenient and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain due to the high calorie and sugar content and, in sensitive people, digestive problems.
The recommended daily intake of raisins is about 30-40 grams (about a small handful). This amount provides a balanced amount of nutrients and energy without exceeding the sugar or calorie intake. However, the exact amount may vary depending on individual dietary needs, level of physical activity and health conditions such as diabetes or weight control. The key is moderation, so that you can enjoy the benefits of raisins while avoiding possible negative consequences.
