 A Basket of Grapes in a Bag May 26, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
We like raisins (Sun Maid Raisins, 12-Ounce Bags (Pack of 6)), and if you knew how many we eat, you would be shocked. We eat them on our cold cereal, in our oatmeal, mixed with almonds, stirred up with peanut butter, and by themselves.
They are good to eat and good for people. They are pure food . . . "grapes and sunshine" Sun-Maid calls them. They are made in California's San Joaquin Valley from Thompson Seedless grapes. One pound of raisins is 4 pounds of fresh grapes. The hot summer sun makes the grapes sweet and juicy.
In addition to snacking on raisins, we like to cook with them.
Here's a classic recipe using raisins. My sister Ruth won a prize with it in a cooking show, and she shared it with permission in Flavored with Love: Mary Lou's Family and Friends Can Cook.
Ruth's Prize-Winning Broccoli Salad
4 cups broccoli
cup raisins
cup onion
cup nuts
cup celery
cup real bacon bits
cup light mayonnaise
cup sugar
cup vinegar (apple cider or white)
Mix the first 6 ingredients. Make a sauce out of the mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar. Pour the sauce over the salad. Toss and chill.
Lately we are paying more attention to nutrition. Raisns have 130 calories in a 1/4 cup serving. There are condensed food. They contain no fat. They have natural sugar with a large carbohydrate load. One serving has almost no sodium but 310 mg potassium. Diabetics and renal patients should consult with their dieticians before including raisins in their diets.
I hope you enjoy Ruth's recipe and find this review helpful.

Sun Maid Raisins provide an excellent snack for persons on the go who want quick energy; they are also healthy for just about anyone, too. They are fat and cholesterol free and they don't have sodium. Raisins contain dietary fiber as well. Moreover, just 1.5 ounces equals one serving of the fruit we need to have in our diets every day. Excellent!
The packaging allows for easy transport and the stay fresh reclosable zipper works well. If for some reason the zipper on your bag doesn't work then use a tie from a loaf of bread or something similar to keep the package closed.
Moreover, Amazon correctly notes that these raisins are delicious with yogurt and cereal. They can be used in salads and numerous other recipes, too. I add them to hot oatmeal in the morning to give the otherwise bland oatmeal a natural sweetness that wakes up my taste buds big time! SMILES
Unfortunately, raisins contain few vitamins and they do contain some carbohydrates. Amazon also notes that these raisins "may contain an occasional grape stem or wood piece." Consult your doctor if this concerns you. I wish they contained vitamins; this disappoints me so I will take off one star to make this a four star review.
Overall, however, Sun Maid raisins provide us with a healthy alternative to candy bars and junk food when we need that snack or burst of sugar energy. They help us get the fruit we so badly need in our diets and the packaging allows us to carry them around easily.
Buy some like I did and ENJOY!!!
