How many raisins per day?

How many raisins per day?

How many times have we wondered “How many raisins should be eaten per day?”

We at Nuturally want to provide an answer.

The ideal dose amounts to 40g, which is the ideal portion for a healthy life.

According to research in the New England Journal of Medicine, 40g of dried fruit per day is the perfect ally for a healthy, balanced lifestyle, protecting the body from cardiovascular diseases, type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome and hypertension.

How many raisins are to be eaten if you don’t have a scale at hand?

There is a way to measure the right portion of food: the palm of your hand! This 'scale' helps you avoid eating too much food. We at Nuturally reveal that, with the palm of your hand, you get the ideal portion of raisins to cover your daily needs.

When it comes to raisins, the recommended portion size is 40g which, depending on the type of grape, can range from 100 to 200.

The British Dietetic Association has shown that an innovative unit of measurement for regulating the right portion of food to be consumed is the hand! In fact, this literally 'hands on' method is useful for adjusting portions of any food on all occasions and helps to lead a long and healthy life.

Of course, it should be borne in mind that each person has their own specific nutritional needs depending on their constitution, age, gender, level of physical activity, etc. and, for this reason, the portions of food vary according to individual needs. In fact, the study reveals that the hand method is proportionally applicable because a larger person, with larger hands, will automatically consume larger portions than smaller people, with smaller hands.

We at Nuturally (the online shop with more than 120 types of nuts and dried fruit) give you the chance to buy online different types of raisins: Organic Sultana, Italian Raisins, Black Jumbo Raisins, Black Corinth Raisins and Organic Black Corinth Raisins.
