Iranian Sultana raisins are one of the exported raisins from Taher Agroindustrial Group. We offer different sizes and colors (light/dark) of Sultana to the entire world besides other Iranian raisins such as golden raisins, long (green/golden) raisins.
Sultana or Tizabi (acidic) is one of the best-selling raisins produced in Iran. Sultana raisins are made of seedless cultivar/species “Vitis Vinifera”. They are light brown to dark brown and they are very sweet because they are high in sugar.
To prepare Sultana, the grapes are dipped in acidic liquid after ripening and harvesting, and then spread in the sun to dry sooner, and acidic raisins are usually obtained within 5 days.
In the processing stages of Sultana, if the grapes are dried with sulfur smoke, their color becomes light brown, but the most common type of Sultana raisin prepared without sulfur smoke is dark brown. And is used in the preparation of breads, cakes and sweets.
Sultana is known worldwide by various names, for example, in Iran it is also called Sultani or Acidic raisin (Tizabi).
In the United States, Sultani raisins are called “golden raisins” or “Sultana“.
In Australia, some Sultanas are made without putting them in acid, so they dry later (about three weeks) and are usually called “natural” Sultanas.
