Answer 2

Grapes

Raisins - Dried grapes, They are produced in many regions of the world, such as the United States (California), Australia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, Iran, and South Africa

Currant - also called zante currant) is a variety of dried seedless grape used in cooking, especially baking. Currants are very small and intensely flavored.
Red Currants and Black Currants are NOT grapes and not related to the dried variety described above. They are berries. There is also an extra-small variety of cherry tomato known as currant tomatoes due to their small size.

Sultana - A type of white, seedless grape of Turkish or Persian origin

Answer 3

They're all dried grapes, but here's the differences: The SULTANA is a SOFT, JUICY, AMBER COLOURED fruit with a VERY SWEET flavour. It's largely produced from a SEEDLESS WHITE GRAPE and varies in shape from round to oval according to variety. Main producing countries: Turkey, Australia, Greece, Iran, South Africa.
The word RAISIN comes form the Latin racemus, which means 'a cluster of grapes or berries'. The raisin is DARK BROWN and WRINKLED with a SWEET MELLOW FLAVOUR and is produced from UNSEEDED or SEEDED, WHITE or BLACK GRAPES. Main producing countries/regions: California, South Africa, Afghanistan, Chile, Australia.
CURRANTS are Dried, BLACK, SEEDLESS GRAPES. All currants derive from the same variety of grape known as the Corinth and this is from where the word currant originated. They are much smaller than either the sultana or the raisin. Main producing countries: Greece is responsible for 89% of the world currant crop. Other producing countries include South Africa, Australia and USA

Answer 4

The sultana is a type of white, seedless grape of Turkish or Persian origin, as well as a type of raisin made from it; such sultana raisins are often called simply sultanas or sultanis. They are commonly used in South Asian cooking, where they are called Kishmish. These are typically larger than the currants made from Zante grapes but smaller than 'normal' raisins, and are noted for their sweetness and golden colour.

The sultana grape (also called the sultanina or sultani) is cultivated in the United States under the name Thompson Seedless, named for William Thompson, a viticulturist who was an early grower in California (sometimes credited with the variety's introduction).According to the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, the two names are synonymous. Virtually all of California raisin production (approximately 97 percent in 2000) and roughly one-third of California's total grape acreage is of this variety, making it the single most widely-planted variety.

Raisins are dried grapes. They can be eaten raw or used in cooking and baking. They are produced in many regions of the world, such as the United States, Australia, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Greece, Turkey, Iran, and South Africa.
