Raisins (kishmish) are made by drying fresh grapes either under the sun or in controlled drying conditions. During the drying process, the water content reduces while natural sugars become concentrated, giving raisins their characteristic sweetness and chewy texture.
They are widely used in sweets, desserts, kheer, halwa, baked goods, and savory dishes like pulao and curries. Raisins are also commonly added to trail mixes and breakfast cereals or eaten on their own as a nutritious snack.
Nutritionally, raisins are a good source of natural carbohydrates that provide instant energy. They contain dietary fiber that supports digestion, iron that helps maintain healthy blood levels, and potassium which supports heart function. Their antioxidants help protect the body from oxidative stress.
Because they are naturally sweet and free from added sugar, raisins make a wholesome alternative to refined sweets. Consumed in moderation, they are a convenient and nourishing addition to a balanced daily diet.
