How much dried fruit, like raisins, has about 15 grams of carbs?

Just 2 tablespoons. Small bite, big carbs.

  1. 2 tablespoons ✔
  2. 1 cup
  3. 1/2 cup

Why: Dried fruit packs a lot of carbs into a small bite. ADA says only 2 tablespoons of raisins or dried cherries has 15 grams of carbohydrate, so watch portions.

Huh, didn't know that: ADA's list of dried fruits also includes dates, figs and prunes.

The dad joke
Why did the raisin go out with the prune? Because he couldn't find a date.
