Description
Golden raisins, also known as sultanas, are a type of dried grape that have a distinct golden or yellowish color. They are made from green or yellow grapes, typically from the Thompson Seedless variety, which are dried to remove their moisture content. Golden raisins are produced by placing the grapes on trays and allowing them to dry naturally in the sun or by using dehydrators. During the drying process, the grapes undergo a transformation as the sugars within the fruit concentrate, resulting in a sweet and tangy flavor. These raisins have a slightly different taste compared to dark raisins. While they are still sweet, golden raisins often have a milder and more delicate flavor. They can also be plumper and juicier in texture. Golden raisins are widely used in various culinary applications. They are commonly used in baking and cooking, adding sweetness and a hint of tartness to a variety of recipes. Golden raisins can be found in baked goods like cakes, cookies, bread, and granola bars, as well as in savory dishes such as rice pilaf, couscous, salads, and tagines.
