Jumbo Flame raisins are plump, seedless, sweet and have a long keeping shelf life. They are picked ripe because they do not ripen after harvest. The raisins are sun dried. They are very delicious and moreish. Golden raisins are seedless and to retain their light colour and moisture are usually put into dehydrators which are temperature controlled and humid. These raisins contain vegetable oil and sulphur dioxide to maintain colour. Raisins are sweet due to their high concentration of sugars. This is made up of glucose and fructose. (about 58% normally but can reach higher levels). Raisins are a healthy and delicious snack.
