“My wife, Nalini, swears there is no raisin that can compare to the Hunza raisin. She compares them to candy, they are so sweet and delicious. This is her favorite raisin from India, and our family is also excited to share it with you.”

A raisin is a raisin, is a raisin, right? Maybe not so fast!
In the United States the term “raisin” refers to any dried grape other than a currant. A raisin can be either the common dark purple variety or the less common, but equally known golden raisin. Hop on a plane to travel the world and a different story emerges.
The majority of raisins in the US come from commercially grown (non-organic) Thompson green seedless grapes. When naturally dried or sun-dried, they automatically darken, taking on their familiar dark color. The vast majority of golden raisins in the US come from the same green Thompson grapes that are dried in industrial-size dehydrators and typically treated with sulfur dioxide to (unnaturally) preserve their color, texture and shelf-life - not exactly a healthy alternative, especially for those people who are allergic to sulfites.
Outside of the US, most countries differentiate between dark-colored raisins and golden raisins which are known as sultanas. Raisins are classified by the variety of grape being cultivated and how it is processed. Golden raisins, like their darker counterpart come from various types of grapes, some seedless, some not, including Thompson, Sultana and Monukka grapes. Hunza raisins are a wonderful example of gorgeous golden raisins that come from more than one variety of grape.
At Pure Indian Foods, we’ve selected Hunza raisins that come from sundried organic Sultana grapes. The grapes are naturally dried in the hot sun which deepens their flavor and concentrates their natural sugars and good nutrition. The result is a naturally amber-gold raisin with a beautiful, pale green hue.
Our Hunza Raisins are incredibly versatile! They are certified-organically grown, non-GMO, raw and gluten free with NO added sulfites, ever! They add sweet, rich, delicate, fruity flavor to a variety of favorite treats, both sweet and savory, and can be used in place of regular raisins, currants and other dried fruits in just about every recipe. Eat them alone as a delicious snack or try some of these ideas:
Add to favorite hot or cold cereals like oatmeal or overnight oats
Add to trail mix
Toss into leafy green salads – they’re delicious paired with bitter greens
Add to cooked grains like rice, couscous or quinoa, or cooked grain salads
Use them to sweeten muffins, cookies, cakes, scones, homemade raisin bread and bars
Add them to a spectacular cheese platter – delicious with creamy brie, roasted mixed nuts and a variety of crunchy crackers
Pair with vegetable or meat curries
Add them to pancakes and waffles
Stir into yogurt
Sprinkle over ice cream
Enjoy a snack with dark chocolate and peanut or almond butter
This is perhaps my fourth or fifth order with Pure Indian Grocery and I have never been disappointed. I have also tried spices, grocery and other products that I don’t typically get and it’s always exceeded my expectation. This is one online grocery that truly delivers excellent quality products in a short time and with great customer service. I truly appreciate this store and look forward to my next order .

Trying to raise awareness about the deliciousness of hunza raisins.

These Hunza raisins are delicious! I prefer them over the darker variety and find they add a lovely subtle sweet flavor to baked goods (love them in muffins and quick breads) and in savory dishes as well. I used them recently as part of a baste for roasting chicken. Highly recommended!

Loved the rose spray. I spray it on my hair when I need a vibrational lift!
The raisins were the sweetest freshest and most complexly flavored I have ever had.
Love your ordinary ghee and especially the digestive ghee. Yum! The Turmeric ghee mellows and is super flavored for kitcheri and many other things. Have yet to try the buckwheat groats. Thank you. YOur attention to detail is not missed by me, that's why I ask for them from so far away. Andrea

These raisins are super nice - we went through the package pretty quickly, cooking them into our oatmeal every morning and topping with ghee and jaggery! It’s so nice to have raisins like these that are naturally dried without sulfites.

so - these raisins are SO delicious. They are sweet and soft and not dry. They are a whole different texture than what I am used to. A total treat!! I now buy 3 bags at a time as I do not want to run out and have to eat my hot cereal without them.

Very sweet and tasty; my young kids love them as a snack; the skins seem thinner than on typical raisins- I used them in muffins and they seemed to melt right in, creating little pockets of delicious sweetness

Like biting into sunshine! These little goldens are tangy, honeyed, and bright— perfect for savory and sweet dishes alike. They are a staple in my kitchen.

I am always looking for organic golden raisins, so I was super-happy to find these here! And they are SO good!! So far I've only tried them straight out of the bag...can't wait to see how they are in payasam and other Indian desserts! YUM!!
