Thompson Raisins
Thompson raisins are sweet and plump dried fruits produced from seedless green grapes. Their color gradually takes darker shades as they begin to dry and eventually turn dark brown when they are fully dried. These raisins are jampacked with minerals, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. They are also an excellent source of calory and healthy and organic sugar. They are often used in sweet baked goods such as cakes, muffins, and cookies or used in various kinds of oatmeal and other breakfast dishes.
