Harvesting

Sultanas are typically grown in vineyards, where grapevines are carefully cultivated to produce high-quality fruit. The sultana grape variety is known for its small, sweet, and seedless berries, which are ideal for drying. Harvesting usually takes place in late summer or early autumn when the grapes have reached their peak ripeness. The grapes are then carefully handpicked to ensure only the best quality fruit is selected for drying.

After harvesting, the grapes are gently washed and then laid out to dry in the sun or in special drying facilities. This natural drying process allows the grapes to retain their natural sweetness and develop their characteristic golden-brown colour. No artificial additives or preservatives are used in the drying process, ensuring that the sultanas maintain their organic integrity.

Organic dried sultanas are naturally rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins B and C, as well as minerals like potassium and iron. These nutrients are inherent to the raw product, making organic dried sultanas a wholesome and nutritious snack or ingredient. The natural composition of organic dried sultanas makes them a popular choice for health-conscious consumers seeking a delicious and convenient source of natural goodness.

The organic nature of Organic Dried Sultanas means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

Best Before

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

Packaging & Storage

You’ll receive your Organic Dried Sultanas in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.

The History of Organic Dried Sultanas

Organic dried sultanas have a rich history dating back to ancient times, originating in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions. Sultanas are a type of grape, and the drying process was developed as a way to preserve the fruit for long-term storage. The term "sultana" itself is derived from the Turkish word "sultan," reflecting the fruit's royal and luxurious connotations. Over the centuries, sultanas have become a staple in British cuisine, particularly in traditional dishes such as fruitcakes and puddings. Today, organic dried sultanas continue to be cherished for their sweet, tangy flavour and natural goodness, reflecting a heritage of time-honored culinary traditions.
