Green Raisins
Green raisins, also known as jumbo raisins or currants, are made from grapes that are left to ripen on the vine before being dried in the sun. They have a unique tart flavour and a chewy texture that makes them a popular ingredient in baked goods like bread, cakes, and cookies.
They can also be added to savoury dishes like couscous and rice pilafs or used as a healthy snack. SpiceNest’s green raisins are carefully selected and dried to preserve their flavour and nutritional value.
