You might heard a lot about white raisins, but have you ever heard of black raisins? Black raisins are made from dried grapes. They have a sweet, juicy flavour. Yet it does have tremendous health effects, other than pleasing the sweet tooth. Black raisins are a perfect addition to the diet, because they contain natural antioxidants and are rich in iron, from reducing hair loss, removing impurities from the blood, reducing high blood pressure, and maintaining anemia at ease. For faster effects, just add a couple of black raisins in the daily meal.

Impressive benefits of black raisins:

1. Improves skin texture: Impurities in the blood leads to skin becoming rough and acne-prone. Consuming black raisins on a regular basis helps to get rid of toxins, waste products and all other blood impurities. In addition, it includes natural antioxidants that help to completely detoxify the body.

2. Improves scalp’s blood supply: It leads to the scalp's blood supply, which in turn stimulates hair follicles and reduces hair loss. Its high content of vitamin C provides hair with nourishment, thereby avoiding premature greying of the hair.

3. Improves bone strength: Other than potassium, high levels of calcium are also present, which is healthy for our bones. Lack of calcium can lead to serious bone diseases such as osteoporosis, so it can help cure it by eating black raisins every day.

4. Improves cholesterol levels: Black raisins help maintain regulation of low density lipoproteins (LDL) or poor cholesterol. Polyphenols that are found in black raisins help reduce cholesterol levels.

5. Improves blood pressure: These fruits, rich in potassium, assist in reducing hypertension or elevated blood pressure. Potassium helps reduce our body's sodium volume, and is one of the primary sources of higher elevated blood pressure levels.

6. Helps in strengthening teeth’s: They are healthy for the teeth, too. It avoids tooth decay because of the involvement of photochemical and helps combat germs and cavities. It also keeps a number of bacteria from developing, which results in tooth decay.

7. Helps in increasing iron content: As these are organic fruits, it also helps to keep anemia at ease due to the high content of iron. Iron increases blood haemoglobin production, which in turn, cures anemia.

Black raisins are very lesser known in the Indian markets. The main reason of all these are because of low demand of these organic products. After the implementation of nationwide lockdown there has been a huge increase in organic foods demands. Therefore, now it’s time to make black raisins flourish in the Indian market.
