Not as vital as grapes (in my opinion), but if they help you in your transition - more power to you!

Raisins hinder iron absorption by about 75%, so I don't eat them or red grapes, as they do the same. If you are not concerned about iron, then as long as they are truly raw, and not too much sugar for you, enjoy.
