HOW BLACK RAISIN ARE MADE

 

The most popular dried grape is black raisins, which are typically made from seedless Thompson grapes set out on paper and sun dried for three weeks, but can be made with grapes of any skin colour. As the raisins dry, they become brown to black. Heat and sunlight are also important factors in the browning reaction. The darker the raisin and the more caramalized the flavour, the higher the heat and the more direct sunlight.

Raisins should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and prevent them from drying out.

The key to preserving the freshness of any food is proper storage. Place the raisins in an airtight container or bag and keep them somewhere cool and dark.
