What it is
These are dried grapes, specifically seedless varieties like Thompson Seedless. The dehydration process concentrates their natural sugars, resulting in a sweet, chewy fruit. They are a convenient snack and a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. The drying method preserves their flavor and texture for extended periods.
