Raisins are a nutrient-dense, energy-packed food, which makes them ideal for weight gain. If you want to follow a diet that's sustainable and healthy, however, it's important to eat a variety of nutrient-dense foods to gain weight rather than relying on one too heavily. Raisins can certainly help you put on weight in a safe way, but it's best to view them as an aid rather than as a singular solution.
Nutrition Facts
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 1 oz. of seedless raisins constitutes about 60 raisins and contains 85 calories, 1 g protein, no fat, 22.5 g carbohydrates, 1 g fiber and 17 g sugar. Raisins have a high energy density, which means they boast high calorie counts for small serving sizes. They're also packed with a lot of nutrients for their size; only about 15 percent of a raisin is water. Those properties stand in contrast to low energy-dense foods, which have high water percentages and low calorie counts and are best for weight loss rather than weight gain.
