What it is
These are plump, sweet raisins made from organically grown grapes. The grapes are dried to remove most of their water content, concentrating their natural sugars and creating a chewy texture. They are a simple, wholesome snack and a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes. This package contains a generous amount for various culinary uses.
