What changes the calories
- Because raisins are dried grapes, the water is gone and the sugar is concentrated, so a small handful carries far more calories than the same weight of fresh grapes.
- Portion size matters a lot: a cup of raisins (not packed) has 434 calories, while a mini box has 42.
- Packing raisins into a cup fits more fruit in, so a packed cup weighs more and has more calories than an unpacked one.
- Coated versions, such as yogurt- or chocolate-covered raisins, add the calories of the coating on top of the fruit itself.
Tips for logging it accurately
- Weigh raisins on a kitchen scale when you can, since small dried fruit is easy to over-pour and cup measures vary with how tightly they're packed.
- If you eat a snack box, log the box size directly: a small box (1.5 oz) is 129 calories and a mini box (0.5 oz) is 42 calories.
- When raisins go into oatmeal, trail mix or baking, log them as a separate ingredient in BerryFit so their calories aren't missed.

Frequently asked questions

How many calories are in a cup of raisins?
One cup of raisins, not packed (145 g), has 434 calories, with 115 g of carbohydrates. A packed cup holds more raisins and therefore more calories.
Are raisins high in sugar?
Yes, raisins are mostly sugar by weight: 65.2 g per 100 g, out of 79.3 g of total carbohydrates. They also provide 4.5 g of fiber per 100 g.
Do raisins have more calories than grapes?
Gram for gram, yes. Drying removes water and concentrates the sugar, so raisins have many more calories than the same weight of fresh grapes, though the fruit itself contains the same calories before and after drying.
