Dried grapes are a familiar source of supplement in many diets thanks to their convenience and nutritional value.
Users can sprinkle it on oatmeal, add it to dessert, make a snack or drink morning raisin juice.
However, not all types of raisin are as good. According to nutritionist Shweta J. Panchal at The Diet Therapy (headquartered in Mumbai, India), yellow grapes and black grapes have a significant difference, directly affecting health.
Ms. Shweta recommends that users review the type of raisin they are using because the raisin (the most popular type) is not actually naturally yellow.
To keep the color attractive and prolong the shelf life, yellow dried grapes are processed through additives. This process helps the grapes spoil for a long time but loses their natural beauty.
Dried grapes are a good source of energy and potassium, but preservatives can irritate the lining of the intestines, even making conditions worse such as asthma, IBS or reflux, explains Shweta.
Eating yellow grapes regularly can cause bloating, digestive disorders and affect liver health, especially in people with a sensitive health background.
In the context of increasingly people interested in clean food, yellow mustard has suddenly become the focus of attention because of the accompanying additives.
This makes consumers search for more natural options and black dried grapes become a strong candidate.
Without strong additives, black dried grapes are naturally exposed to the sun, retaining many important nutrients. Shweta emphasizes that this is a better choice for people with hormonal problems, iron deficiency or low hemoglobin.
In particular, black grapes support the intestines thanks to their natural prebiotic fiber content, which helps increase beneficial bacteria, improve bowel movements and reduce constipation.
The main nutritional components of black grapes include:
- Iron and B vitamins: support blood formation and improve energy.
- Polyphenols and antioxidants: reduce inflammation and protect cells.
- Natural estrogen-regulating compounds: support skin, hair and balance hormones.
- Prebiotic fiber: improves digestion and gut health.
