Sultanas

Sultanas are seedless dried grapes with a light golden-brown colour, originally derived from the Thompson Seedless variety grown in the Sultanie region of Turkey. They are sweeter and softer than classic dark raisins, with a delicate fruity flavour. In the kitchen they are widely used in baking, added to cakes, biscuits, muffins, loaves, and festive pastries. They also work well in savoury dishes, such as pilafs, couscous, Indian curries, or Moroccan tagine, where they balance spicy flavours. They are also excellent in muesli, yoghurt, or enjoyed on their own as a healthy snack.
