Golden Raisins
Produced from seedless high-quality grapes, Golden raisins are perhaps the sweetest type of raisin with a fruity taste and plump texture. Though these raisins are fat and cholesterol free, they are high in sugar which makes them a great source of energy. Replacing artificial sugar with raisins lowers the risk of heart diseases and several types of cancer. The minerals and vitamins they contain help improve bone density.
General Description
Our Golden raisins are obtained from high-quality grapes. They’re washed and laser sorted before packing. As indicated by their names, the grapes are dried in the shade until they reach the desired level of moisture and turn golden or bright brown in the process. They flow freely, don’t stick, and have a firm texture and a sweet and fresh taste and smell, without external flavor or odor.
