Dried grapes are a thick form of fresh grapes, containing a high amount of fiber, especially soluble fiber such as pectin and many natural polyphenols such as resveratrol, phenolic acid and flavonoids.
According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, 100 grams of raisin provides about 3.7 grams of fiber, most of which supports stool softening, increases stool volume and promotes bowel movements.
Consuming raisin daily for 14 days helps improve constipation in adults, while reducing the growth of harmful bacteria in the intestines.
Soaking raisin in water not only helps soften the fruit but also releases digestive enzymes and polyphenols that are easier to absorb, especially when soaked overnight and drunk in the morning on an empty stomach.
Dried grapes after soaking in water have the ability to enhance antioxidant activity and are more effective in improving the index of beneficial gut bacteria such as lactobacillus and bifidobacteria.
Raisin soaking water is gentle on the stomach, does not cause irritation and also helps provide a small amount of natural glucose, a healthy source of energy in the morning.
One of the important effects of soaked raisin juice is to support liver function, a key organ in the detoxification process.
Excerpt from raisin helps reduce ALT and AST liver enzymes in fatty liver patients, while supporting lipid metabolism and eliminating toxins through bile.
Supporting healthy liver indirectly helps the small intestine and large intestine function more effectively, because the metabolism of toxins, bile acids and digestive enzymes is optimized, reducing the risk of digestive disorders and waste accumulation.
The gut microbiome plays a key role in digestion, immunology and metabolism. Polyphenols in grapes, especially resveratrol, have been confirmed by many studies as a natural prebiotic, helping to nourish beneficial bacteria.
Safe and effective use:
To effectively clean the intestines, experts recommend:
Eat about 8-10 black dry grapes (without sugar or preservatives), soak in a cup of warm water (250ml) overnight.
Drink all the water in the morning on an empty stomach, then eat the soaked grapes.
Can be applied 3-4 times/week, especially for people with constipation, eating less vegetables or after a long period of antibiotic use.
