Grapes/raisins

Natural seedless raisins are a minimally processed dried fruit. They retain most of the nutrients found in fresh grapes, including fiber and antioxidants. The drying process concentrates their natural sugars, providing a quick energy source.

Extra-soft raisins are a variant of dried grapes that are processed to maintain a softer texture. They offer similar nutritional benefits to regular raisins, including fiber and antioxidants. The softer texture may be more appealing for certain consumers.

Raisin paste is made by grinding raisins into a smooth consistency. It retains the nutritional benefits of whole raisins, including fiber and natural sugars. This form is often used as a natural sweetener in various recipes.

Golden seedless raisins are dried grapes treated with sulfur dioxide to maintain their color. They provide similar nutritional benefits to regular raisins, including fiber and antioxidants. The sulfur treatment is generally recognized as safe for most people.

Zante currants are small, dried grapes with a tart flavor. They are rich in fiber and antioxidants, similar to other dried fruits. Their small size and intense flavor make them a popular choice for baking and cooking.

Raisin concentrate is a thick syrup made from raisins, used as a natural sweetener. It retains the natural sugars and some nutrients from raisins, offering a healthier alternative to refined sugars. This concentrate is often used in baking and food processing.

Glycerin-infused raisins are treated with glycerin to maintain moisture and softness. While glycerin is generally recognized as safe, it adds no significant nutritional value. This process helps improve texture and shelf life.
