A raisin is a dried grape. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking, and brewing. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia, the word raisin is reserved for the dark-colored dried large grape, with sultana being a golden-colored dried grape, and currant being a dried small Black Corinth seedless grape.

What is Raisin?

Sweet grapes that are allowed to dry and shrivel up are called raisins. Until medieval times, raisins were second behind honey as a top choice for sweeteners.

Raisins are brown, green or golden. Brown raisins are sun-dried, typically by laying them out in the vineyards for two to four weeks, after which the raisins are graded, cleaned, and packed. Golden raisins (with the exception of sultanas) are typically oven-dried and often treated with sulfur dioxide to preserve their color. Most often, brown raisins are used in baked goods, while golden raisins are preferred for savory dishes. Generally, all raisins are inexpensive, which adds to their appeal.

Green raisins are obtained by drying the green seeds of grapes. Green raisins have a warm nature and are generally useful for preventing osteoporosis, strengthening the heart, liver and memory.
This type of raisin is processed in a special way that makes it very tasty. In such a way that it is even used in baking all kinds of sweets and cakes.

Interesting to note that Turkey, i.e. the largest exporter of raisins in the world, also imports raisins from Iran, albeit in bulk, which is re-exported to Europe with Turkish brands after packaging with their country’s name. In the last year, the main structure of the world raisin market has changed, and the most important importers of Iranian raisin are Eastern Europe and some neighboring countries.

The different types of Iranian raisins that are offered to buyers all over the world by Nutex include the following:

Golden Raisins are grown in the sunny vineyards of Bonab, they are made using Sulfur fumigation process and shade dried so they are golden amber in color with a naturally sweet and fruity flavor.This popular kind is produced from grapes with special natural characteristics and particular sugar level. These characteristics are merely available in grapes grown in Bonab area and this city is the only and best producer of this kind of raisins in Iran.After being double washed, golden raisins are dried, coated with vegetable oil, stemmed, mechanically cleaned, laser and hand sorted then metal detected under extreme care of hygienic conditions.
Green Raisin ( Jumbo Raisin )Green Raisins also are known as Green Jumbo Raisin, Kashmari (Kashmiri) Green Raisins and Green Long Raisins. As it is clear from its name the color of this raisin is green.Raisins, in general, are dried grapes. They are seedless grapes. Farmers start processing the green long raisin with double washing it. Then we dry it under shade. Then coat them with vegetable oil so it doesn’t lose its moisture too quickly. Also, so the berries don’t stick to each other.Besides, the oil gives berries a moderate shine. The next step is to remove the stems and clean them. The final step is laser sorting them. The moisture level of Jumbo Green Raisin is under 15%.
Sultanas ( Red Raisin )They are originally named after a Turkish green grape from which degenerate the cultivar now most commonly used to produce raisins around the world, Thompson seedless.Sultana mostly refers to light to dark brown or reddish amber dried grapes, they are very sweet due to their high sugar content.In order to speed up the drying process, sultanas are usually coated in an oil-based solution before drying. Sultanas should be dry in special drying plants; they can be treated with Sulfur to gain a light brown color.But the most popular type is dark brown sultana without using any Sulfur. It takes longer time to dry for more than 3 weeks and the products are usually dark brown in color. This type of sultanas typically called as “natural sultanas”.
Currants ( Black Raisin )Currant is a kind of raisin made from black grapes and the best kind in Iran is made of black grapes that is called Shahani grape. In fact, the main difference between raisins and currants is that raisins are mainly from smaller grapes and currants from large black grapes.Currants are actually a kind of raisins and cannot be classified into other types of nuts or other products. This type of raisins is made from coarse grapes of black grapes and is very different in appearance.In any case, the Shahani grapes or Majlesi grapes, which is the best type of grape to produce currant, are well found in most parts of Iran. Of course, Shahani grapes are divided into two types of green and red grape, which are used to make currants from the red one.This type of grape has a thick skin, and therefore, both the grape itself and the currant itself can be stored for a long time.
