Black raisins are one of the healthiest foods to include in your diet. They contain high amounts of fruit sugars like glucose and fructose, which can satiate your hunger levels and lower your food cravings. These are also known to help in strengthening one's immunity. Black raisins may also maintain your gut health and ward off constipation. Raisins are considered to be the storehouse of natural sugar. Hence, they are considered a popular and healthy alternative to sugar to satisfy our sweet tooth. They are also rich in antioxidants, vitamin C, iron and calcium and can work as an instant energy booster.

Raisins pack more nutrition than their small size might indicate. When grapes are dehydrated to produce raisins, the nutrients become more concentrated, making a handful of raisins a snack rich in nutrients. On the other hand Delicious pitted prunes are ideal for cooking and snacking. Not only do prunes taste great, but they're also very healthy - naturally fat free and high in potassium and fiber.
