What is raisin?

Dried grapes are the dried, ripe fruit of the grapevine (Vitis Vinifera). After grapes reach the desired sugar content, they are harvested, washed, dried, sorted and packed. Before drying, grapes may be dipped into a chemical solution to remove natural wax from the skin of the fruit. This process shortens the drying time and enables a lighter skin colour. Traditionally, this solution is made of potassium carbonate and olive oil, but other substances are used too (such as ethyl esters). Grapes can be dried in the air (in the sun or in the shade) or in drying facilities. Sundried grapes have a darker skin colour compared to grapes dried in the shade.

Dried grapes can be treated by sulphuring with sulphur dioxide, which is the common production process for the golden yellow types. However, sulphur dioxide cannot be used in the production of organic dried grapes. In order to prevent the raisins from agglomerating (sticking together), they are often coated with vegetable oil.
