Raisins are a great option for a snack or an addition to a delicious dinner. In addition, desserts, breakfasts, and even various meat dishes are prepared with raisins.

However, as it turned out, many people don't even know what raisins are. The Mirror decided to look into this issue.

It's no secret that raisins are dried fruit. But many people think that they have never seen raisins in a dried form, as is the case with dried apricots or prunes.

Raisins are dried grapes. They are most often made from the Moscatel variety, which is predominantly found in the United States, Turkey, Australia, and Greece. But other varieties can also be used. For example, Black Corinth. This grape variety was originally grown in the south of Greece on the island of Zante. Therefore, now it can also be found under the name Zante.

Raisins can be made from any grape variety, and even by yourself. It is better to use a seedless variety.
