AFG Green Raisins
Description
What are Afghan Green Raisins?
Afghan Green Raisins are made from a type of seedless grape called Thompson, which is green in color and has a smooth texture. The grapes are carefully sun-dried to retain their natural sugars and nutrients, resulting in plump, juicy, and delicious raisins.
Grape Harvest
These raisins are made from grapes harvested when fully ripe and then carefully dried to retain their flavor, texture, and nutritional value. In some cases, they are dried in shaded areas or at minimal heat to preserve their natural color.
Color and Appearance
Afghan Green Raisins are usually light to medium green in color and are less wrinkled than other types of raisins. They are often larger and juicier due to the special drying process used in Afghanistan that allows the grapes to retain more moisture than some other dried grapes.
Rich in nutrients
Afghan green raisins are packed with essential vitamins and minerals, including:
- Vitamin C helps boost the immune system, promotes healthy skin, and promotes wound healing.
- Vitamin K is essential for blood clotting and bone health.
- Potassium regulates fluid balance, supports proper muscle function, and helps maintain healthy blood pressure.
- Magnesium is important for muscle and nerve function and helps regulate blood sugar and blood pressure.
- Iron is essential for hemoglobin production and preventing iron deficiency anemia.
