How to choose raisins

1. Look at the color

Buy light-colored raisins with color differences, and don’t choose those with too bright colors, as these raisins may have been processed with pigments.

2. Feel the texture

Grab a handful of raisins with your hands and quickly let go. If the raisins are separate, it means that the raisins are well dried. If they are all stuck together, the quality is relatively poor.

So, how many raisins should we eat? According to research, eating 160 grams of raisins per week will have a health effect, which is an average of 23 grams per day. If you can eat 200 grams of fruit per day, you can take 23 to 25 grams of raisins; if you eat less fruit on a daily basis, you can add some raisins to your intake, up to 30 to 40 grams.

Of course, this quantity can also include other dried fruits, not just raisins, but also dates, dried apricots, dried figs, dried blueberries, dried persimmons, dried wolfberries, etc.
