Raisins, golden seedless

See GFA Page for explanation of Gout Food Analysis Pages.

Description

3 references in USDA nutrition database:

Raisins, seeded

There are also many other foods containing raisins. I’ve selected the golden seedless variety for this analysis, but the ordinary seedless is slightly more nutritious and the seeded variety even more so.

Raisins have cropped up elsewhere on my gout pages as they are rich in tartaric acid (cream of tartar) which is a powerful alkalizing compound. Raisins are probably a better source of tartaric acid, as they also include a good proportion of fiber, and constipation is a particularly uncomfortable gout trigger. However, the large proportion of sugars means that you should try to limit your raisin intake if you are trying to lose weight. Also the resulting carbohydrate load can be inflammatory, hence the low Inflammation Factor rating.
