Short answer
No. Drying the grape removes water and leaves the sugar: 100 g of dark seedless raisins have 79.3 g of carbohydrate, of which 65.2 g are sugars, according to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) database. The Brazilian TACO table does not list raisins.
How many carbs do raisins have?
| Food | Total carbohydrate (g) | Fiber (g) | Sugars (g) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dark seedless raisin | 79.3 | 4.5 | 65.2 |
| Golden seedless raisin | 80.0 | 3.3 | 65.7 |
And in small portions?
The USDA also gives the weight of some portions of dark raisin. A 14 g box has about 11.1 g of carbohydrate; 50 raisins (26 g), about 20.6 g. That is, 50 raisins already exceed a daily limit of 20 g, the lowest in the ketogenic diet.
Why it is left out
The Harvard Nutrition Source lists among the foods cut in keto the added and natural sugars of foods and drinks, and fruits outside the allowed list, unless they fit within the carbohydrate limit. Fresh, the grape has much less per 100 g (13.6 g in the Italia variety, according to TACO): see grape in the ketogenic diet.
If you have diabetes or another condition, take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, talk to a doctor or dietitian before changing your diet. Precautions before starting are in risks and cautions of the ketogenic diet.
