After about an hour of strenuous exercise, long-distance athletes can really start to deplete their glycogen stores, “the body's source of quick energy”. Raisins are low-cost, natural food products rich in carbohydrate that have the potential to improve performance to a similar degree of sports supplements.
Raisins contain mineral “Boron”, which is essential for brain health, helping in increasing concentration, enhancing memory and improving hand-eye coordination. They also provide nutrients that help in strengthening our immune system and prepare the body to fight infectious diseases.
Compounds in raisins enhance healthy gums and teeth by inhibiting the growth of bacteria in the mouth that cause gingivitis and tooth decay. They also can help prevent macular degeneration of the eyes, lower the cholesterol level in the body and stop cancer from forming, or slow down its progress.

Selection And Storage:
Choose raisins that are full-fleshed, and plump in appearance. It is alright to have fine wrinkles. Avoid darkened or moldy raisins, with insect injury or mechanical injury which may seriously affect their appearance, edibility, and keeping quality.
Raisins have a long shelf life. They keep well when stored in airtight containers and placed away from moisture, humidity, sun light and high temperature.
Store unopened containers of raisins at room temperature and refrigerate after opening. Prolonged cold storage may results in precipitation of their sugar contents. However, this should not offset their quality. It can be reversed by just soaking them in boiled water for few minutes in order to dissolve the sugar crystals.
