White Raisin

White raisins

White raisins are a variety of raisin that are white in colour. They are often called golden raisins or muscats. White raisins are oven dried unlike the typical sun-dried raisin. They can be eaten in place of "normal" raisins and are less sweet than sultanas. They are often used in baking such as in pies and with other fruits. The specific golden raisin variety was made popular by Paul Harvey, who in the 1990s told listeners about a folk remedy that when dipped in gin, they could help cure arthritis. No actual benefits have been found from consuming such a raisin.

Raisin

A raisin is a dried grape. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking, and brewing. The word raisin is commonly used for the dried dark-colored seedless grape, while sultana is a golden-colored dried grape, and currant is a dried small Black Corinth seedless grape.

White

White is the lightest color and is achromatic. It is the color of objects such as snow, chalk, and milk, and is the opposite of black. White objects fully reflect and scatter all the visible wavelengths of light. White on television and computer screens is created by a mixture of red, blue, and green light. The color white can be given with white pigments, especially titanium dioxide.
