Is an apple better than raisins?!?

Question

In my lunch i always used to take a small box of sunmaid raisins(no oil) but is an apple better in terms of calories and nutrients?

Answer 1

Both are good for you, both have fiber and natural sugar that will satisfy you, and raisins are a great source of iron, which an apple doesn't have. Why not try alternating them every other day?

Answer 2

NO. A raw apple (even with skin) has low calories and natural sugars and is very healthy for you. Did you know eating apples helps cleans teeth/gums? Also lowers cholesterol, detoxifys the body, helps digestion - constipation, and is GREAT for fiber. Which we need fiber everyday - helps our digestion and also keeps us "full".
Raisins are known as "nature's candy" They're one of the most nutritious dried fruits in the world.
Here's a site with nutritional values: Hope this helps! So i say eat both!

Well, one thing is for sure: the apple will be a lot more filling for the same number of calories than the raisins.
