What it is Filled

A dried grape: the dried berry of Vitis vinifera, produced by sun-drying, shade-drying or mechanical drying of grapes such as Thompson Seedless (sultanas) or Muscat; eaten as a snack and used in baking and cooking. The small dried currant type (Black Corinth) is a related product excluded from the Codex raisin standard.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent describe raisins, varieties, production, nutrition and safety, from food sources.

Distinguishing features Filled

  2. Raisin - general description of the subject
  3. Standard for Raisins, CXS 67-1981 - Scope, currant exclusion, species, processing, types, styles, moisture maxima and sulphur dioxide treatment.
  4. Dry and Dried Produce - Standards - DDP-11 is the UNECE standard for dried grapes.
  5. Preparing Dried Fruits - Garmiyon as a traditional Uzbek raisin-making method.
  6. Passola - Lexical evidence for passula/passola; cautions against treating the merged name as an established cultivar.
  7. Potentially Dangerous Items for Your Pet - Grapes and raisins as pet food hazards.

Open questions

  • The registry merges Garmiyon (a raisin-making method) and Passula (a regional word); their relation needs checking before linking.
