Are raisins a healthy, low-carb snack?

A. Since the sugars (carbohydrates) in raisins are mostly fruit sugars, they are easy to digest and readily available for quick energy. Raisins also have a generous amount of fiber that helps slow the release of sugar and, therefore, helps to prevent quick production of insulin that comes from other kinds of sugars. However, raisins are not a low-carb snack and need to be carefully calculated into daily carbohydrate intake. Please consult the Nutrition Facts label, watch portion sizes carefully, and enjoy California Raisins frequently.
