Raisins are produced by sun drying and tray drying various types of grapes, resulting in small, sweetly flavored dried fruit with a wrinkled texture
Raisins are made by sun drying and tray drying selected grapes, resulting in small, sweet dried fruits with a wrinkled texture. Indian raisins vary in size and color, closely resembling their original grape varieties, but with intensified sweetness due to concentrated natural sugars. Their low moisture content makes them naturally resistant to spoilage, ideal for long-term storage. Producing 1 kg of raisins requires over 4 kg of fresh grapes, with Thompson Seedless, Sonakka, and Rudstalk being the primary varieties used.
India, a major raisin producer, grows grapes across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and northwestern states like Punjab. Maharashtra leads, contributing over 75% of India's raisin output. The harvest season runs from March to May.
