That black "something". (Health benefits of raisins)

You may probably at one or two times seen "something"  black in a cake served at a wedding reception, or in your pack of cereal (Corn flakes, Oats meal) and wondered what that black something is, and just maybe after wondering what it was, sorted them out of your meal without knowing how nutritious they are. Well,  that black "something" is raisins. Yes raisins, just dehydrated grapes. They park more nutrition than their small size might indicate.  The nutrients become more concentrated making a handful of raisins a snack rich in Vitamins B, iron and Potassuim, and just in case you didn't know too, raisins are also a good source of carbohydrates for energy. They are always sold ready to eat and can be eaten alone as a snack or can be added to rice dish, salad, cereals, puddings and baked foods. You can also add raisins to fresh fruits or vegetable salads as well as pasta. Studies have shown that including raisins in your diet helps prevent cancer and diabetes. It also helps maintain a lower blood pressure, reducing stroke risks and is an excellent digestive aid. Well said and so I trust when next you see that black
"something" in your baked foods or your pack of cereal, you won't throw them away. Add raisins to your diet for healthy living..... Regards, Loretta.
