Green Raisins

What are Green Raisins

Green raisins are dried grapes that have been preserved in their natural green color. They are usually made from seedless green grapes, dehydrated slowly under controlled conditions. They retain their bright hue due to the preservation method, which differs from the drying of regular brown or golden raisins.

How to Select Green Raisins

Look for a bright, uniform green color without spots or dark patches.

Ensure they are plump, not overly dry or hard.

Smell them; they should have a pleasant, sweet aroma.

Check the packaging for organic or sulfate-free labels, as sulfates are sometimes used to preserve color.

Opt for fresh stock, ideally in air-tight packaging to ensure quality.
