Main Areas of cultivation:
USA, South Africa, Iran, Türkiye, Australia

Description:
Sultanas are a seedless type of grape. The fresh fruits are usually golden-yellow to reddish-brown. Contrary to popular belief, the lighter color of dried sultanas is not related to the color of the grapes but to different processing steps. Sultanas are dipped into a mixture of oil and potash. This step makes the grapes dry faster, which is the actual reason for their lighter color.

Uses:
Sultanas are ideal for baking, e.g. in a Christmas fruit loaf. They make a tasty addition to breakfast cereals and are also used as an in-between snack.
