Yes, all dried fruits have a higher amount of calories than their watered originals, since through a process of dehydration they lose their liquid but keep their components, especially carbohydrates.

"Dried fruits are a healthy option and can replace sweets and candies in many contexts. Of course, without losing sight of the fact that the best option is always fresh fruit, which, among other things, is always more satiating and keeps all the nutrients intact," writes nutritionist Aitor Sanchez in his blog
Raisins are "a good source of soluble and insoluble fiber, which gives them healthy properties to improve intestinal transit," continues the FEN. And they are also a very good source of potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and selenium, minerals that help the proper functioning of bones, muscles and nerve impulses
The most prominent vitamins in raisins are B6 and B1, which contribute to transform the food we eat into energy and to the formation of red blood cells. On the other hand, the amount of vitamin C in raisins is lower than in grapes, as it is lost during the drying process
