Description

Seedless golden raisins are dried grapes characterized by their amber or yellowish color, soft texture, and sweet, delicate flavor. These raisins are obtained primarily from white grapes, and their controlled drying process allows them to retain a lighter hue than traditional dark raisins.

Originating from the Mediterranean, especially from regions such as Turkey, California, and Greece, golden raisins are a highly valued ingredient in the pastry and cuisine of various cultures. Their use is common in recipes for breads, desserts, salads, and savory dishes, adding a sweet touch and a juicy texture.

From a nutritional standpoint, golden raisins are a natural source of energy due to their natural sugar content, in addition to providing fiber, B-complex vitamins, iron, and antioxidants. As they contain no seeds, they are ideal for direct consumption and for easy integration into culinary preparations.

In different Latin American countries, golden raisins may also be known as blond raisins, sultana raisins, or simply seedless raisins. The latter term is used to distinguish them from black or dark raisins, which usually contain seeds.
