Raisins Sultanas Organic

If you are a raisin lover, try our raisin sultanas in organic quality. This kind is much sweeter, juicier and also a bit bigger than the classic raisins.

You can just munch on them, sprinkle them into sweet desserts, nut mixes, sweet breakfasts or keep a bag of dried raisins as a first aid in your handbag for when you need an energy boost.

Our organic raisins come from controlled organic farming and are not sulphured. As a result, they retain all the valuable substances in their full range, without any harmful substances.

Raisins are a familiar ingredient in Czech cuisine. We know them as a traditional part of apple strudel or Christmas Eve vánočky. They also taste delicious on their own. They are dried berries of the grape(Vitis vinifera), which are particularly rich in carbohydrates. Sultana raisins are distinguished from other types by their size, yellow-green colour and distinctive sweet taste, which will delight any sweet tooth.

Our organic raisins are completely natural - they therefore retain health-giving substances, the combination of which has a beneficial effect on health, beauty and overall vitality.

What makes raisins great?

Raisins are characterised by their high carbohydrate content(glucose and fructose) and low fat content. They are therefore a rich and quick source of energy. They're great for athletes or as a healthy snack for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Raisins also contain a number of micronutrients such as vitamin B6 (pyridoxine), while minerals include iron, potassium, copper, phosphorus and manganese.

Raisins are also a source of the natural antioxidant resveratrol and contain useful fibre, which is beneficial for maintaining good digestion.

The story of our raisins

These raisins are grown on the coast of sunny Turkey, which is renowned for its excellent raisin varieties. The so-called sultanas are obtained by drying large yellow-green grapes and are therefore distinguished by their delicious sweet taste and softness. They are dried in the sun for 3-5 days, so they retain their juiciness and light colour. Afterwards, they are sometimes (depending on the residual moisture) dried for greater durability. After drying, the sultanas are washed and sorted by hand.

Our sultanas have been grown in accordance with the principles of controlled organic farming and therefore retain their nutritional richness to the fullest possible extent. They have been processed completely without additives and without added sugar. They are also not sulphurised, which means that they have not been preserved with sulphur dioxide or sulphites.

And something else interesting...

Raisins as we know them actually came about by accident - when the grapes dried out in the sun and shriveled up. People have discovered that the fruit is still very tasty. Their history goes back 4,000 years, and they were known to the ancient Romans and Egyptians. Their current name is derived from the German word 'Rosine' and the word 'raisin' comes from the Czech word 'grape'.

Usage

Sultanas have a variety of uses in the kitchen:

• They are a good helper in baking, as well as in the classic Christmas cake, apple strudel, cake or candy.
