California Raisins packed with goodness
ANTIOXIDANTS IN RAISINS
California Raisins rank among the top antioxidant foods. Antioxidants help protect healthy cells from free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules formed in the body when cells use oxygen to produce energy), that may lead to health problems like heart disease and cancer.
HIGH IN FIBRE
One serving (35g) of California Raisin has 9% of the everyday fibre intake needed. A diet high in fibre may contribute to a reduced risk of coronary heart disease.
GOOD SOURCE OF INULIN
California Raisins provide naturally occurring inulin - a fibre-like carbohydrate that helps keep the colon healthy by promoting healthy cell growth and helping prevent abnormal cell growth.
SMILE
Recently published research counters long-held views that, because raisins are sticky, they increase tooth decay. Researchers at the University of Chicago College of Dentistry have shown that raisins contain phytochemical compounds that suppress growth of bacteria in the mouth that cause gum disease and tooth decay.
