you’re getting the same vitamins, minerals, and fiber as eating a grape, just with less moisture. They do not add sugar to raisins, so they have exactly the same amount of sugar as eating fresh gapes.

Not the most healthy thing one could feed a child (easy to overindulge and consume too much sugar) but better than something with purely empty calories.
