Tellspecopedia » Raisins, sultana

Definition

Sultanas are raisins made from pale, seedless yellow grapes. They are typically sweeter, softer, and lighter than other raisins.

Health considerations

Raisins are primarily sugar but do contain fiber. Non-organic raisins may contain traces of pesticides. Polyphenol content inherent to fresh grapes decreases significantly with aging, drying, and processing. Raisins have little to no resveratrol content.

Keep in mind

Raisins may be coated with vegetable oils which may contain corn, soy, or seed oils; raisins may contain sulfites. These are common allergens.
