Sultanas are palish green, an oval seedless grape of Middle East origin with a soft, juicy and very sweet flavour. They are a natural choice for cakes, biscuits and desserts and also suitable with savoury ingredients such as meat, fish and poultry. Soaking sultanas in warm liquid such as wine, port, rum or stock presents softer fruits with additional flavour. Sultanas are an excellent source of iron, potassium and selenium. They are rich in fibre and the high calorie content formulates an ideal snack for anybody.
