Raisins, in common with all vine fruit have two specific attributes of real benefit. The first is that the sugars in dried grapes do not include any sucrose or glucose, only fructose. This means that the energy is released in a more controlled and slower way, making sultanas an ideal breakfast food.

The second attribute is the very substantial levels of anti-oxidants in grapes and grape skin. Anti-oxidants act to help prevent premature degradation of cells in the body and neutralize free radicals. Some initial research has indicated that the average levels of these anti-oxidants may be higher in organic than in non organic foods

The raisins in this muesli are produced from the Thompson Seedless variety, one of the twenty or so grape types grown commercially.

The organic raisins are grown in Fresno, California.
