On an island where the presence of vines dates back to prehistoric times, raisins belong to the products that prove the Cretan ingenuity to preserve grapes for a long time after their collection.
Raisins are considered one of the most nutritious plant foods with a beneficial effect on health, as they are a source of iron and potassium, while, at the same time, they contain vitamins A and B and are rich in fibre. They are used as an ingredient in many sweets and foods.
