Raisins
Raisins are dried grapes that have been enjoyed for centuries across various cultures, with evidence of their consumption dating back to ancient Persia and Egypt. They offer a natural sweetness with a chewy texture that can vary depending on the variety and drying method used. The flavor profile is complex, featuring notes of sweetness, tanginess, and sometimes a hint of caramelized sugars, depending on whether they are sun-dried or machine-dried. In cooking, raisins plump up when exposed to liquids, making them versatile for both sweet and savory dishes. They can add natural sweetness and chewiness to baked goods or provide a delightful contrast in salads and pilafs.
