Products Details
Organic Golden Raisins
Organic Golden Raisins are a naturally sweet, nutrient-rich dried fruit made from organically grown white grape varieties, typically Thompson Seedless. These raisins are prized for their vibrant golden color, plump texture, and clean, fruity taste — all achieved without the use of synthetic chemicals or preservatives.
**What Makes Them “Golden”?
Unlike traditional sun-dried raisins,** golden raisins** are typically dried using controlled air-drying methods, often in dehydrators or tunnels, to preserve their lighter color and soft texture. In organic processing, no sulfur dioxide is used — instead, organic-approved methods such as low-temperature drying or natural treatments (like organic lemon juice) are used to achieve the golden hue.
Why Choose Organic?
Organic golden raisins are cultivated using certified organic farming practices that:
-
Avoid synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
-
Prohibit GMOs
-
Promote soil health, biodiversity, and sustainability
By choosing organic, you’re supporting environmentally responsible agriculture while also consuming a cleaner, more natural product.
