Raisins, derived from dried grapes, are a globally consumed fruit known for their versatility. Produced in various regions worldwide, they serve as a popular ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes, ranging from baking and cooking to brewing. In certain English-speaking countries, such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa, distinctions are made between types of dried grapes, with raisins typically referring to dark-colored large grapes, sultanas to golden-colored varieties, and currants to small, seedless Black Corinth grapes.
