“Only the skin of the grapes contains dietary fibre, and the pulp has a soft texture, which means that it is actually an easily accessible sugar,” she says.
Grapes contain a high percentage of sugar, and may cause a sudden rise in the blood sugar level. Therefore, everyone who suffers from insulin resistance or diabetes should take it in a limited amount and with caution.”

As for raisins, they are dried grapes, which means that they are practically free of water. Therefore, they contain high calories. To reduce the effect of sugar, raisins can be eaten with materials containing protein and fats. Such as nuts, yogurt and cheese.
