Raisins(R) are made by drying grapes(G) in the sun. Although some of the sugar in the grapes is caramelized in the process, nothing is added. Moreover, the only thing removed from the grapes is the water that evaporates during the drying and water contains no calories or nutrients. The fact that raisins contain more iron par calorie than grapes do is thus puzzling.
a. Since G are bigger than R, it takes several bunch of G to provide same amt of iron as a handful of R.
b. Caramelized sugar cannot be digested, so its calorie do not count towards the calorie contents of R.
c. The body can absorb iron and other nutrients more quickly from G because of relatively high water contents of G.
d. R, but not G are available year round, so many people get a greater share of their yearly iron from R than from G.
e. R are often eaten in combination with other iron containing foods, while G are usually eaten themselves.
