Sultana Raisin

Sultana raisins are produced from small, seedless, thin-skinned white grapes. These small, golden-yellow, sweet, and fruity raisins are a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Originating from the Mediterranean region, sultana raisins are cultivated in several countries, including Turkey, Greece, and Iran. They are often referred to as "golden raisins" in the United States. Sultana raisins are commonly used in home cooking for various dishes such as baked goods, salads, and rice dishes. They are a great addition to granola, trail mixes, and cereals, as well as a healthy and portable snack option on their own. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants, sultana raisins offer a multitude of health benefits, including aiding digestion, promoting heart health, and boosting energy levels.

Sultana Raisin FAQ
When cooking with sultana raisins, the common questions that arise mostly surround their usage, how to plump them up, how to incorporate them into dishes, as well as understanding the difference between sultana raisins and regular raisins. One major mistake people make when working with sultana raisins is throwing them directly into baked goods without properly preparing them - this often results in dried out, rather tasteless raisins in the final product. To get the most out of sultana raisins, soaking them in warm water or even alcohol like rum or brandy for about 15 minutes before using them will make them juicy and plump, and enhances their flavor. If you're looking to add versatility to your dishes, combining sultana raisins with other types of dried fruit can make for a wonderful, multifaceted taste and texture. An important detail about sultana raisins that's not commonly known is that they tend to be sweeter than regular raisins which can influence how much additional sugar is added to a recipe.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does sultana raisin expire?
Unopened sultana raisin packages can last about 1 year at room temperature as long as they're kept in a cool, dry place. Compared to the printed date on the package, they can stay good for about 3-12 months past it. Once opened, store them in the fridge to extend their shelf life to 12-18 months. Freezing these raisins is a common practice and can keep them edible indefinitely, but they may lose their quality after 12 months.
How do you tell if sultana raisin is bad?
These raisins have gone bad if you notice any mold or strange smell. They might lose their color and become dark. A stale, off flavor is a sure sign when tasted. Some other signs are hard texture or if they have become excessively dry and gritty.
Tips for storing sultana raisin to extend shelf life
• Store unopened packages in a cool, dry and dark place. A pantry or kitchen cabinet away from the stove, dishwashers and other heat sources is ideal. • After opening, store sultana raisins in the refrigerator inside an airtight container. This will help avoid moisture and other contaminants. • If you plan to store them for a long time, put them in the freezer in a zip-top freezer bag. Remove as much air as you can before sealing. • Never mix old and new raisins. Older ones might bring down the shelf life of fresh ones. • Always remember to seal the bag or container properly after every use to keep them fresh.
