Description
-
Sultanas are a type of raisin made from seedless grapes, typically the Thompson Seedless variety.
-
“Raisin brown” or “dark brown sultanas” refers to sultanas that are naturally sun-dried or dried without sulfur treatment, giving them a darker brown color.
-
According to some producers, dark brown sultanas may be dried without sulfur dioxide, making them more “natural.”
-
In contrast, “golden raisins” (also called sultanas in some regions) are often treated with sulfur dioxide to preserve a lighter color.
