Golden Raisins are made from dried grapes and have a lighter, fruitier flavour than dark raisins. Due to the same drying process that leaves them a lighter colour, golden raisins are plumper and juicier too. The texture and flavour of golden raisins make them not only a yummy and healthy snack but delicious in cooking too, added to all sorts of breads, pastries, sauces and curries for a slightly tart burst of sweetness.
