Very good! Mild sweetness and the best tasting in Indian sweet rice with coconut. Knowing itâs from good soil makes me feel good. Will keep ordering!

âMy 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.â
~ Sandeep, Co-Owner and Co-FounderÂ
These golden raisins can be refrigerated or frozen to maintain freshness.
All Raisins Are NOT Created Equal.
A raisin is a raisin, is a raisin, right? Maybe not so fast!
In the United States the term âraisinâ 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.Â
The majority of raisins in the US come from commercially grown 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 â not exactly a healthy alternative, especially for those people who are allergic to sulfites.
Hop on a plane to travel the world and a different story emerges.
Outside of the US, most countries differentiate between dark-colored raisins, simply called "raisins," and golden raisins which are called "sultanas." Raisins are classified by the variety of grape being cultivated and how it is processed. Sultanas, like their darker counterpart, come from various types of grapes, some seedless, some not, including Thompson, Sultana and Monukka grapes.
It can get a little confusing!
What Are Hunza Raisins?
Hunza raisins are a wonderful example of gorgeous, naturally golden raisins that come from more than one variety of grape. They are called "Hunza" because they were originally grown exclusively in the Hunza Valley of Pakistan before their production spread.
At Pure Indian Foods, weâve selected Hunza raisins that come from sundried 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 golden raisin with a beautiful, pale green hue.
Our Hunza Raisins are incredibly versatile! They are non-GMO, raw, gluten free with NO added sulfites, sugars, or oil. These naturally golden raisins 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.

Great taste! Great product.
Check out my video review.
Hunza raisins are deliciously sweet and pair well with apples cooked over the stovetop with cinnamon, ginger and cardamom! A warm and healthy Apple Chutney delight! One of my favorite breakfast foods or as a snack between meals when craving sugar.
THESE ARE THE BEST TASTING HIMALAYAN HUNZA RAISINS I'VE EVER EATEN. THEY HAVE A NATURAL SWEET FLAVOR AND I'VE BEEN EATING THEM DAILY. SOMETIMES I ADD THEM TO RICE OR NUTS. I SM DO HAPPY TO HAVE FOUND THESE RSISINS.
Trying to raise awareness about the deliciousness of hunza raisins.
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! Itâs so nice to have raisins like these that are naturally dried without sulfites.
Perfect topping for my carrot salad! These raisins are delicious!
Good quality
Best hard to get Hunza raisins!
The order shipped quickly and arrived on time. The raisins tasted great. They're just too expensive.
Ordering was easy. Fast shipping. Hard to find Hunza raisins are a delight!
Best raisins you w illl ever eat
I loved the 1st batch of these raisins that I received, however, I feel this 2nd batch that Iâve received are different in shape and size. Therefore, I am confused which ones are the real Hunza Raisins.
Excellent high quality product from Pure Indian Food as always!!!!
Shipping was faster than expected and the raisins were incredible. I wish I had ordered more as my wife is going through them like crazy!
Saying the raisins tasted amazing would be an understatement
SOOOOO good! Naturally sweet! I need to order more; they do not last long in my home!
My favorite raisins - pure and delicious. Sweet and flowery. Won't buy any others.
Sweet, moist, delicious golden raisins! I already ordered more.
Delicious
I won't buy raisins anywhere else. These are the best!!
My favorite dried fruit
Love them getting more! Lots more!
I have been on a search to find golden raisins that are organic, and sulfite and added sugar free. These checked those boxes and are delicious! My family loves them and will make for terrific gifts! Thanks so much for offering this wonderful product!
I loved the raisin quality. Highly recommended.

Best hard to find Hunza raisins!
I had a hard time finding these in the country and I didn't know they are called Hunza raisins. But they are great tasting, especially if you use them in a nut mix or in your semolina or rice pudding. I do suggest buying both the Thomson and Hunza raisins once, to taste them each and appreciate the difference of flavor in the varieties.
Best Hunza raisins I have ever purchased!
awesome!
Fast delivery, absolutely delish and special, different from all other raisins, my favorite!!
Love it!
I love golden raisins and it's been harder and harder to find organic golden raisins in my local stores, so had to turn to the internet. These are wonderful!! Taste great, arrived quickly. Great resource.
