Sultanas
Neutral

Sultanas are dried grapes that provide natural sugars and some fiber. They are minimally processed and retain most of their natural nutrients. However, they are high in sugar content, which can be a concern for those monitoring sugar intake.

Risks

High sugar content may contribute to increased blood sugar levels if consumed in excess.

Benefits

Provide natural sugars and some dietary fiber, which can support digestive health.
