    Want to know if raisins can be substituted for currants…are they equal trades? Also want to know if frshe pineapple is an equilvilent trade for a fruit…how does it rank as far and calories/sugar…is it high in carbs?

    Absolutely. 3/4 cup fresh pineapple = 1 fruit exchange. It is a bit higher in carbs than the other fruits, with a slightly higher glycemic index (influence on blood sugar and insulin), but it provides very important enzyme activity.
