What Are Golden Round Raisins?

Golden Round Raisins are made from Thompson Seedless grapes that are sun-dried and treated with sulphur dioxide to preserve their light, golden colour. Unlike black raisins, golden raisins are plumper, juicier, and slightly tangier, offering a milder taste profile that’s perfect for both sweet and savoury dishes.

These round, golden raisins are uniform in shape and size, hand-selected for their quality and appearance, ensuring a premium experience with every use.
