Raisins are healthy, can be included in a diabetic diet and contain essential vitamins. A popular belief is that raisins are a great source of Resveratrol. However, this is not true. Raisins are a great source of anti-oxidants, which can be found in Resveratrol, but there is no resveratrol in rosins at all.
