Organic Thompson Raisins

Organic Thompson raisins are dried grapes, specifically from the Thompson Seedless variety, grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The drying process concentrates their natural sugars and nutrients. They are typically dried in the sun or in mechanical dehydrators.

Raisins are often used as a natural sweetener and texturizer in foods. They add a chewy texture and a burst of sweetness, making them popular in baked goods like cookies and muffins, as well as in snack mixes, cereals, and trail mixes.

Raisins are a source of dietary fiber and some minerals. The FDA recognizes dried fruits like raisins as generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. While they contain natural sugars, they also provide beneficial nutrients. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dried fruits.
