Golden sultana raisins

Golden sultana raisins are small dehydrated fruits obtained from sultana grapes, a variety of white grape originally from Turkey. These raisins stand out for their bright golden-yellow color and their sweet, delicate flavor, with a soft and juicy texture that sets them apart from other darker varieties of raisins.

The drying process for sultana grapes is commonly done through sun-drying techniques or in controlled dryers, preserving their characteristic light color and high content of natural sugars. They are widely used in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Latin American baking and cooking, adding a sweet and aromatic touch to breads, desserts, salads, and savory dishes.

Regarding their properties, golden sultana raisins are an excellent source of quick energy due to their natural content of sugars like glucose and fructose. They also provide dietary fiber, antioxidants, B vitamins, and minerals such as potassium, iron, and magnesium, promoting digestion and cardiovascular health.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, golden sultana raisins may be found under synonyms such as golden raisins, sultana raisins, or simply raisins, although it is important to know that "raisins" is also used for any type of dried grape. The specification of "sultana" or "golden" helps to identify this particular variety, which is distinguished by its color and softness.
