Raisins, Grapes, Currants – Deciphering the Difference
Raisins, grapes, currants, they might seem all too similar, but their differences are more than meets the eye. The term raisin is an umbrella term for dried grapes, and these come in light and dark varieties. The color, contrary to what one might assume, doesn't indicate freshness but rather the type of grape used. The production of these little gems happens in warm regions such as the USA, Australia, Iran, and Turkey.
Sultana Grapes: The Sweetheart of the Bunch
Sultana grapes are the heart of the matter. They're beloved for their thin skin, seedless nature, and particularly sweet flavor. The size and fullness of these grapes are what makes them a favorite. However, when they're lightly coated with oil prior to drying, they transform into the succulent Thompson Raisins we have on offer.
Currants: The Greek Wonder
Currants, on the other hand, hail from small, black-purple grapes usually sourced from Greece, notably near Corinth, hence the name. Their unique profile adds another dimension to the rich world of dried fruits.
Organic Thompson Raisins: An Ode to Timeless Natural Sweetness
Not only did the Romans have a penchant for snacking on grapes, but their love for the dried variety has also survived the test of time. The process of drying amplifies the natural sweetness of the grapes. To ensure that they do not clump together, a hint of sunflower oil is added.
