Raisin (Kishmish)

Raisins/Kishmish (کشمش) also known as Vitis Vinifera, are obtained by drying grapes, either in the sun or in driers, which turns the grapes into golden, green or black gems. In fact, when their nutritional values and health benefits are considered, “gems” is a rather accurate name for them!

Raisins are sweet because of the presence of simple sugars like fructose and glucose in them. Not only these sugars increase your energy levels but also promote effective absorption of other nutrients from the food you eat.
