The Healthiest Raisin
A study found raisins can drop our bad cholesterol levels by 13%.
Excellent news, but which has more antioxidants?
A sun-dried raisin or a golden raisin?
They are actually made from the same grape, just processed differently.
The answer is golden by far. The only thing better
is to actually eat the same number of grapes themselves.
Which is healthier? Raisins or currants?
Currants are typically just tiny raisins, but made from a different type of grape.
It's the currants, which are made from champagne grapes rather than their green counterparts.
And since grape skins are the healthiest part of seedless grapes,
smaller grapes and raisins tend to be healthier because there's more surface area, more skin per volume.
