Raisins, also known as Kishmish, are naturally dried grapes that pack a powerful nutritional punch in every bite. At Farm Ayurveda, we offer premium, chemical-free raisins that are naturally sun-dried to retain their sweetness, fiber, and mineral content. These small yet potent dry fruits are excellent for supporting digestive health, boosting energy levels, and strengthening the immune system.
Raisins can be added to your daily diet as a quick snack, sprinkled over cereals, or mixed into desserts and traditional dishes. With their natural sweetness and numerous health benefits, Farm Ayurveda's raisins make a wholesome addition to your wellness lifestyle, rooted in ancient Ayurvedic wisdom.
Raisins have been enjoyed since ancient times, with evidence of their use in Persia and Egypt dating back over 2,000 years. Ancient Greeks and Romans used raisins not only as food but also as offerings and rewards. In India, raisins became a staple in Ayurvedic diets for their vrishya (rejuvenating) properties and were commonly included in sweet dishes and herbal tonics to improve vitality, digestion, and stamina.
