About Our Bulk Golden Raisins
Golden Raisins, or dried grapes, have been a part of human history for thousands of years. According to most accounts, raisins were discovered as far back as 2000 CE in Persia and Egypt. Initially, they found them accidentally when farmers checked in on their grape crops. They found the grapes dried and still clinging to grapevines and became our very loved golden raisins of today!
Interesting fact: Grapes start as mostly water, with about 78%. After drying them into raisins, the water content reduces to about 15%. Making one pound of raisins requires about five pounds of grapes.
Uses
- Our bulk Golden Raisins are fantastic when added to baked goods or your morning oatmeal.
- They also excel as a sweet and fibrous snack all on their own. Often referred to as “nature’s candy,” Golden Raisins are a satisfying, pragmatic snack at any time of the day.
- Also, raisins are sweet and nutritious; you can mix them into cakes, cookies, or bread.
Storage
Golden Raisins will keep in your refrigerator or pantry for six to twelve months. We recommend refrigeration of open packages. Keep them out of humid and hot environments if you want them to last. However, if you freeze them, our wholesale golden raisins will last up to eighteen months.
Nutrition
Golden Raisins are hailed for their nutritional content. They contain a higher concentration of antioxidant flavonoids (the pigments that give plants their color) than their darker counterparts.
Golden Raisins are also rich in catechins, an antioxidant flavonoid that may improve brain functioning. Theories also suggest that they aid in fat oxidation. Our wholesale golden raisins also provide essential nutrients, including calcium, potassium, iron, and some B vitamins. They are easy to digest and contain dietary fiber.
