About Yogurt covered raisins

Yogurt-covered raisins are a sweet snack that combines raisins, made from dried grapes, with a yogurt coating. This treat originates predominantly from Western cuisines and has become popular for its balance of chewy and creamy textures. Raisins are naturally rich in natural sugars, fiber, and essential minerals like iron and potassium. The yogurt coating typically contains added sugars and fats, along with dairy-derived ingredients. While this snack offers some vitamins and minerals found in raisins, the nutritional profile is affected by the added sugars and fats in the yogurt coating, making it a calorie-dense food.

Health Benefits

• Raisins are a source of dietary fiber, which supports healthy digestion and regular bowel movements.
• The iron content in raisins can help maintain healthy red blood cell production, preventing anemia.
• Potassium found in raisins supports healthy heart function and blood pressure regulation.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains milk (from yogurt coating), possibly traces of nuts (due to manufacturing)

Suitable for: Vegetarian

Not suitable for: Vegans, dairy-free diets, low-sugar diets

Selection and Storage

Store yogurt-covered raisins in a cool, dry place to prevent the coating from melting. Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
