Originally raisins were made by dehydrating them in the sun, this caramelized the raisins giving it it\u2019s distinct red colour, otherwise known as Sultana raisins. But in the last few decades, unripe grapes were harvested and they were dried in unnatural conditions with the use of extensive chemicals and pesticides. As the grapes used were not ripe yet, they weren\u2019t sweet- giving rise to sugar dipped raisins and other dry fruits. We at Freako Fresh, sourced premium quality, ripe raisins and dried them in the traditional manner, under the sun, giving them a distinct colour which is not very often seen. Since the grapes used were premium quality, they were naturally sweet, making things like sugar dipping and using preservatives be useless. Adding onto this they have more antioxidants, have a deeper flavour profile.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Health benefits :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>Aids in digestion:<\/strong><\/span> The presence of high amounts of dietary fiber improves the flow in the intestinal tract.
