Raisins
Types

Natural Seedless

These raisins are sun-dried Thompson Seedless grapes. They are the most well-known and account for 95 percent of California raisins. Natural Seedless raisins are most often eaten out of hand.



"Spa-treated" or Dipped Natural Seedless

These raisins are spa-treated or dipped Thompson Seedless grapes. They are moist and plump. These raisins are also popular for baking.



Golden Seedless

Like Natural Seedless raisins, these are also Thompson Seedless grapes. They are specially treated to preserve their light color. They account for about 5 percent of the crop and are good for baking.



Zante Currants

Made from small Black Corinth grapes, currants are seedless and very dark in color. These tiny fruits called "Zante Currants" refer to the Greek island where this type of grape first grew. They are also popular for baking.



Muscat Raisins

These raisins are made from big, greenish-gold Muscat grapes. Since the grapes contain seeds, the raisins are seeded mechanically, or are sold with seeds. Muscats are large, brown, and particularly fruity-tasting. They are mostly used in baking, especially in fruitcakes.
