A raisin is a dried grape. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking, and brewing. Some of the stronger antioxidants in raisins are called phytonutrients. These plant-based compounds have been shown to reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis, and cancer. Research suggests that phytonutrients may also lower inflammation, relieve pain, and protect your brain.
