Raisin

Raisins are dried grapes, typically dark brown or golden in color, depending on the grape variety and drying method. They have a sweet, concentrated flavor with a chewy texture. The drying process intensifies their natural sugars, resulting in a rich, caramel-like taste. Raisins are often used in baking, cooking, and as a snack, adding both sweetness and depth to dishes like cookies, cakes, salads, and rice pilafs.
