Black Raisins

Black raisins are naturally sun-dried grapes with a deep, dark colour and a rich, mellow sweetness with subtle caramel notes. They offer a soft, juicy texture and a fuller, more robust flavour than other raisin varieties. Unlike golden raisins, which are lightly treated and dried to preserve a bright colour and tangy taste, black raisins are minimally processed, resulting in a more natural, rounded sweetness. Compared to brown raisins, they are darker and more flavour-forward.

Black raisins are highly versatile—perfect for baking breads, cakes, and pastries; enriching savoury dishes such as Arabian mandi rice, rice pilafs, tagines, and stews; and adding natural sweetness to salads, couscous, and spice blends. Their depth of flavour makes them especially well-suited for traditional and slow-cooked recipes where richness is key.
