Sultanas

Sultanas are dried grapes, and the figures here describe whole dried fruit. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with 69g per 100g, all of which is sugars. They provide 1171 kJ of energy, 0.4g of fat and 1060mg of potassium per 100g. Drying removes water from grapes, concentrating the sugars and other nutrients in the remaining fruit.

Carbohydrate supplies energy, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. The concentrated sugar and energy content of dried fruit is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Dried fruit can also stick to teeth, so eating it with meals rather than between meals can help limit its effect on dental health. Full nutrient figures are shown in the tables below.
