What it is

Raisin paste is a thick, sweet liquid made from dried grapes (raisins). To make it, raisins are typically hydrated and then pureed into a smooth paste. It is often used as a natural sweetener and binder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use raisin paste as a natural sweetener, binder, and source of moisture in baked goods like cookies, bars, and muffins. Its concentrated fruit flavor and texture also contribute to the overall sensory experience of the product.

Health notes

Raisin paste is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of natural sugars, fiber, and some micronutrients found in grapes. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar fruit-based ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Raisin paste is not derived from any of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
