FAQs:
Q: Why soak raisins instead of eating them dry?
A: Soaking makes raisins easier to digest, reduces their natural sugar concentration, and enhances nutrient absorption—especially iron and potassium.
Q: Can soaked raisins help with constipation?
A: Yes! They are a natural laxative due to their fiber content and can help regulate bowel movements.
Q: Are there any side effects of eating soaked raisins daily?
A: In moderation, they are safe for most people. However, individuals with diabetes should monitor their intake due to natural sugars, and those with allergies to sulfites (sometimes used in dried fruit preservation) should opt for organic, unsulfured raisins.

A: Absolutely! They add natural sweetness and extra nutrients to smoothies or oatmeal.
