Organic Sultana Raisins

Sultana raisins, also known as “golden raisins”, are loaded with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They’re used in many cuisines throughout the world for both sweet and savoury dishes. 

These pale golden brown raisins are soft, moist, and juicy with a sweet and slightly fragrant flavour. Their plump texture, delicious taste, and ability to absorb other flavours make them incredibly versatile.

Sultana raisins are a great addition to many recipes such as rice dishes, couscous, stews and salad – or they can simply be enjoyed on their own as a tasty snack. They’re also a fantastic way to sweeten oatmeal or baked goods such as muffins and cookies.  

Sultana raisins are made from a particular type of green seedless grape called the Thompson Seedless variety. A drying process takes place to shrink the grapes into small, nutrient-dense dried fruit.
