Flame raisins
Summary
The product primarily consists of California Red Flame Seedless Raisins, which are minimally processed and provide natural sugars, fiber, and antioxidants. However, the presence of sunflower oil, a seed oil high in omega-6 fatty acids, introduces a concern due to its potential inflammatory effects and the processing methods used in its extraction. This combination results in a moderately processed product with both beneficial and less desirable components.
