What Is Raisin?
Dried fruits are gaining more and more fans each day. One of the healthiest and most delicious ones is raisins, which are usually used instead of sugar or any other unhealthy sweet.

Raisins are dried grapes, which are either sun-dried or oven-dried. The color of raisins indicates the type of their production. This means, if raisins are brown, they are sun-dried. The golden raisins are usually oven-dried and sometimes treated with sulfur dioxide to preserve their color. However, there are other types of raisins with different colors, which we are explaining later. Raisins are produced with different methods. However, the most popular and used method of raisin production is the natural drying method.The production method doesn’t have a huge impact on raisins’ tastes. Since there are no additives in dried fruits, the sweetness of raisins depends on the type of grapes. However, since the drying process concentrates the fruit’s sugars, raisins are usually sweeter than fresh grapes.

Raisins are eaten raw or used in baking, cooking, and brewing. There are many recipes on the internet that can help you make delicious cakes or even savory dishes with raisins.

All kinds of raisins

Different types of raisins are made from different types of grapes. Therefore, they may have different shapes, sizes or colors.
The most famous types of Iranian raisins are:

Sultana Raisin:

Sultanas raisins are made with seedless white-fleshed grapes, which makes them juicer than other types of raisins. Since Sultanas are typically coated in an oil-based solution before drying, they don’t have the dark color as normal raisins have but they are somehow brownish. Furthermore, Sultanas are smaller but slightly sweeter than normal raisins. Sultana raisin is originated in Turkey. This type of raisin was imported to other countries during the Ottoman Empire.

Golden Raisin:

As the name indicates, they have a golden color. Golden raisins are one of the most delicious raisins in Iran and all around the world. This type of raisin doesn’t contain seeds and is made with yellow grapes. Like other types of raisins, golden raisins are also produced with drying grapes. The method is usually natural, which doesn’t have any additives. That’s why this type of raisin is so popular.

Green Raisin:

Raisins are mostly known in gold or dark brown color. But green raisins are also so popular. This type of raisin is the slimmest type, which is almost 3 cm tall. The shape and color of green raisins mostly make them so different from other types but the taste is similar and the texture is chewy. This type of raisin is produced in Middle East and Central Asia.

Currant(Black Raisin):

Currants or Zante currant are types of raisins that are made with dried Corinth grapes, which are tiny, black grapes. This type of grapes is about one-fourth the size of standard grapes. Currants are seedless like Sultanas but they are the smallest type of raisins and also have the darkest color. The taste of this type of raisins is not different than other types but due to their small size, they have an intense flavor. The Zante currant is one of the oldest known raisins that are originated from Greece.

Iranian Raisins

Iran is among the popular countries that produce high-quality raisins. Apart from other mentioned types of raisins, Kashmari raisins are one of the well-known types of Iranian raisins that are produced from seedless grapes that are local Iranian type. This type of raisins has a long shape and comes in two different colors: golden and green.

Kashmari raisins have somehow a different taste. It is not as sweet as other types of raisins and is famous for its semi-sweet/semi-sour taste. It is the best choice for people who don’t like the extreme sweetness of other types of raisins.

Iranian golden raisins are mostly produced in Malayer, and are known as Malayeri raisins. This type of raisin is so popular around the world because Malayer is one of the best places to grow raisins. Therefore, Iranian golden raisins are among the high-quality raisins in the world. Golden raisins can also be found in East Azarbaijan, Bonab, and Takestan. But there is a slight difference between Malayeri golden raisins and raisins of other cities: Malayeri raisins are somehow darker in color. Some even compare that to Sultanas in shape and color.
