Description
Grapes suffering from severe thirst and deprived of their seeds. Our high quality raisins are perfect for your fruit cakes and general snacking alike.
Safari Standard Seedless Raisins are naturally sun dried grapes known for their sweet flavour, soft chewy texture and deep fruity taste. Raisins are produced by drying fresh grapes, most commonly Thompson seedless varieties, which concentrate the natural sugars and flavour of the fruit. In South Africa, many raisin grapes are grown along the Orange River region of the Northern Cape where warm sunshine provides ideal conditions for traditional sun drying.
These raisins are a classic ingredient in baking and are widely used in fruit cakes, hot cross buns, rusks, muffins, biscuits and traditional fruit loaves. Their natural sweetness and moisture also make them ideal for granola, breakfast cereals, trail mixes and snack bars. Beyond baking, seedless raisins can be added to salads, savoury sauces and dishes such as bobotie, where they provide a sweet contrast to savoury flavours.
Raisins are naturally high in energy and contain dietary fibre as well as small amounts of minerals such as potassium. Because they are simply dried fruit with no seeds, they are convenient for snacking, lunchboxes and quick energy during physical activity.
Alternative naming includes seedless raisins, dried grapes, Thompson seedless raisins or baking raisins.
