Black Raisins

There’s more than one reason that raisins are known as nature’s candy! These tasty and sweet dried grapes are a heart-healthy snack that is rich in soluble fiber, which helps the body regulate blood sugar levels and reduces LDL “bad” cholesterol levels. High in potassium, these dried fruits provide a mineral that is essential for helping your heart stay strong. Raisins are also an excellent source of bone-building minerals such as calcium and boron. If you’re feeling run-down, a serving of raisins provides a great source of energy-boosting iron.
