Best Answer

Raisins are grapes. They are dried grapes so there is no difference.

Actually, since grapes are usually dried on iron, the raisin absorbs some of that iron and hence are "healthier" because of the iron content. PS. The same happens when you cook with iron skillets, only you need to eat a little vitamin C with your food because vitamin C helps your body absorb more of the iron.
