Premium Raisins

These are premium golden kishmish - made from Thompson Seedless green grapes, naturally sun-dried without sulphur dioxide treatment (the chemical commonly used to make commercial raisins appear bright yellow). Our raisins are a natural amber colour with a soft texture and honey-like sweetness.

No - our raisins are sulphur-free, which is important if you are sensitive to sulphites or asthmatic. Most commercial golden raisins use SO₂ to preserve bright colour, which can trigger allergic reactions. Naturally sun-dried raisins are slightly darker but completely safe for everyone.

Soaked raisins are easier to digest, release more iron, and the soak water becomes a mild tonic. Drinking this water first thing in the morning is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy for iron deficiency, constipation and liver support. The soaked raisins are eaten with the water.

Raisins are naturally high in sugar - approximately 59g of natural fructose and glucose per 100g. No sugar is added; it is all from the original grape concentrated during drying. A 30g daily serving (about 2 tablespoons) provides 18g of natural sugar, roughly the same as one small apple.

In small portions, yes. Despite the sugar content, raisins have a medium glycaemic index (around 64) and also contain fibre that slows sugar absorption. A serving of 10-15 raisins (about 10g) is generally considered safe for diabetics. Always consult your doctor for your specific situation.
