Do raisins contain phytochemicals and other nutrients?
A. Yes, raisins contain phytochemicals and antioxidants, including readily absorbed catechins, which may help, decrease cancerous colon tumors. Q. Is the resveratrol, the much-talked about antioxidant, found in raisins? A. Certain wines, red grapes and perhaps, grape seed extract provide resveratrol. However, California Raisins are made from Thompson Seedless (green) Grapes, so they do not have significant amounts of resveratrol. Raisins do provide other important antioxidants, however.
