Rice has less sugar than raisins.
100 grams of rice contains 25.86 grams of sugar (carbohydrates), 116 calories, 0.33 grams of fat, 2.6 grams of protein, 0.3 grams of fiber, 25 mg of potassium, and 147 mg of sodium. Rice, also known as white rice, or simply rice, is a food made by boiling rice and water.
The sugar content of raisins is relatively high. The sugar content of raisins per 100 grams is 59 grams, containing 334 kcal of calories, 83.4 grams of carbohydrates, 0.4 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of protein, and fiber 1.6 grams, potassium 995 mg, sodium 19.1 mg. Raisins are foods formed by dehydrating grape fruits with the help of solar heat or artificial heating. They have high sugar content and low water content, making them easy to transport and store.
The fruit used to make raisins must be mature. The water content in raisins is only 15-25%, and its fructose content is as high as 60%, so it is very sweet. Raisins can therefore be stored for a long time. Over time, the fructose in the raisins may crystallize, but this does not affect their consumption.
