Raisins are, according to scientific tests, among the top foods for antioxidants, which are believed may protect cells and their components from oxidative damage – a little like “rust prevention” for the body. There is reason to believe that eating plenty of fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants, such as raisins and spinach, may help slow the ageing process, both physically and mentally. Antioxidants are important in protecting cholesterol and other fats in the blood from oxidising. This is critical as oxidised fats in the bloodstream are much more likely to be deposited on the artery wall or to cause a clotting abnormality. They are handy to carry about as a quick snack. They are rich in fibre, so help "keep you regular" and they have the effect of eliminating the bile from the colon to reduce the risk of colon cancer. The only down side about this wonder food is that it is high on the glycemic index and therefore to be avoided if you are a diabetic.

When your little nephew comes around for tea and eats "healthy raisins" they will inadvertently end up being trod into the carpet. This will take you hours on your knees to scrub them all out.
Therefore the health benefit is: You burn up lots of calories and will sleep like a baby afterwards!
(Is the muscle ache you will have in your arms the next morning classed as "unhealthy"?)

Raisins are the original candy—nature's candy. They are one of the most nutritious dried fruits in the world. Raisins are cholesterol-free, low in sodium and totally fat-free. They provide many necessary vitamins and minerals, including iron, potassium, calcium and certain B vitamins. Raisins are a good source of fiber and rich in antioxidants. Raisins are 70% pure fructose (a natural form of sugar) which is easily digested for quick energy!

In the event it's a fruit it includes seeds, otherwise it's a vegetable. And vegetables are usually grown in the ground while fruits are grown in trees.
