Which fruit is dried to make sultanas?

Answer 1

The sultana refers to a type of white, seedless grape of Turkish or Persian origin, as well as a type of raisin made from it simply called sultanas. They are commonly used in South Asian cooking being called 'Kishmish'. Sultanas are seedless, large-berried and light yellow, larger than currants and smaller than raisins.

To produce: the grapes are grown on the sultana grapevine and are harvested when overripe then either air-dried or increasingly dried in special drying plants. Most sultanas are bleached, sulfured after drying and mechanically destalked in order to extend their storage life and prevent subsequent discoloration. Treatment with vegetable oils is intended to prevent them from sticking together. They are very sweet and similar in flavor to honey due to their very high sugar content

The sultana grape (also called the sultanina) is cultivated in the United States under the name Thompson Seedless. The sultana raisin was traditionally imported to the English-speaking world from the Ottoman Empire (hence the name sultana, from the feminine form of sultan) and Turkey and Australia are major producers.

Sultanas are served as snack foods, used in a variety of dishes, often prepared by soaking in water, fruit juice, or alcohol and is also used to make white wine, in which capacity it is known for sweet blandness.♥
