Sun-Maid Raisins Snack Packs
What it is
These are small, individually wrapped portions of dried grapes. They are made from seedless Thompson Seedless grapes that have been dehydrated to remove most of their moisture. This process concentrates their natural sugars, giving them a sweet and chewy texture. The individual packaging makes them convenient for on-the-go snacking or portion control. They are a simple, natural fruit product.
How people cook with it

- Added to baked goods like cookies and muffins
- Mixed into oatmeal or cereal

These snack packs are ready to eat straight from the package. For cooking, you can open the packs and add the raisins directly to your batter or dough. They can also be rehydrated in warm water or juice for a few minutes if a plumper texture is desired in certain dishes. When baking, they distribute evenly and soften as they cook, releasing their sweetness into the surrounding ingredients. They are also a simple addition to salads or grain bowls.
