This process concentrates the fruit’s natural sugars, fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants, transforming fresh grapes into a nutrient‑dense, energy‑packed snack with a much longer shelf life. Available in brown, golden, green, and black varieties (depending on grape type and drying method), raisins are valued not only for their sweet flavour but also for their role in natural wellness, Ayurvedic medicine, and traditional South Asian cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNutritional profile per 100g of raisins:\u003c\/strong\u003e approximately 299‑320 kcal, 79g carbohydrates (natural glucose, fructose, sucrose), 3‑4g dietary fibre, 3‑4g protein, 0.5‑1g fat.

Archaeological evidence shows that vines were domesticated in \u003cstrong\u003eGreece as early as 4000 BCE\u003c\/strong\u003e, making raisins a staple of the ancient Mediterranean diet. Raisin grapes were also grown in \u003cstrong\u003ePersia (modern‑day Iran) and Egypt as far back as 2000 BCE\u003c\/strong\u003e, and dried grapes are mentioned in the Bible during the time of Moses. In \u003cstrong\u003eancient Greece\u003c\/strong\u003e, raisins were a mainstay of the diet, prized for their exceptional sweetness and long shelf life. They were used as prizes in sporting events (including the early Olympic Games), as offerings in religious rituals, and even as a form of currency. The famous Greek physician Dioscorides (1st century AD) prescribed raisins for respiratory ailments and digestive disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the \u003cstrong\u003eIndian subcontinent\u003c\/strong\u003e, raisins have been used for centuries in \u003cstrong\u003eAyurvedic medicine\u003c\/strong\u003e (where they are called \u003cem\u003eDraksha\u003c\/em\u003e) as a rejuvenative (rasayana), a natural laxative, and a remedy for anaemia and fatigue. They are an essential ingredient in traditional sweets like \u003cem\u003esheer khurma, zarda, halwa, kheer\u003c\/em\u003e, and in savoury dishes like \u003cem\u003epulao and biryani\u003c\/em\u003e to balance spices with natural sweetness. Over the centuries, the art of drying grapes travelled along trade routes (the Silk Road and maritime spice routes), and today raisins are enjoyed worldwide.
