Purple Raisins 1000g - VIVIO

Raisins – what kind of fruit are they? They are nothing but dried grapes. They are formed by the evaporation of water from the fruit, causing them to shrink and their skin to wrinkle. The traditional method of drying them is to spread the grapes out in the sun. The process takes two to four weeks. Today, mechanical drying is often used to prevent contaminants and insects from getting into the fruit. The word "raisin" was already known in the 14th century, when these dried fruits were called rozenki. Perhaps the great cultural significance of these dried fruits and nuts is testified to by the name of dried grapes, which has been adopted in our country. In the Middle Ages, they were among the most popular sweeteners, occupying a place of honor right next to honey. In ancient Rome, they were so valuable that two jugs could even buy a slave. The largest cultivation of vines for the production of raisins is located in the United States. In 1983, Californian farmers found a way to minimize the losses associated with the massive drought that devastated the grape harvest. In full sun, the fruit withered on the vines. And so California became a global giant in the production of this delicacy.
Raisins are a sweet snack that can successfully replace unhealthy sweets. In addition to providing energy, they provide our bodies with many valuable vitamins and minerals. They contain iodine, which has a positive effect on thyroid function, and potassium, which is essential for the proper functioning of the cardiovascular system. They are also a source of fiber, so they have a positive effect on the digestive system. They can help combat constipation. Scientific studies show that all varieties have antioxidant effects.
Raisins consist largely of easily digestible sugar (70% of their content is fructose). Therefore, they are a valuable source of energy. They contain iron, copper, potassium, and B vitamins, which have a positive effect on the nervous system. They are also a treasure trove of calcium and magnesium. These elements ensure the good condition of our skeleton and teeth. The high antioxidant content nourishes our cells, can help close blood vessels, and maintain normal blood pressure. The fiber and pectin contained in raisins support digestion and can help relieve constipation.

APPLICATION
Dried grapes can be eaten raw as a standalone snack. They are also a popular addition to cakes (cheesecake, yeast cake, gingerbread) and desserts. Soaked in alcohol (e.g., rum), they acquire a unique flavor. They taste delicious with chocolate and blend perfectly with other dried fruits (almonds and nuts). They are often added to morning porridge or muesli. They perfectly enhance the flavor of savory dishes. They are a great addition to meat dishes, fish, stews, and salads.
Raisins at the bottom of a cheesecake are every housewife's bane. What can you do to prevent these delicacies from falling to the bottom of a sweet pastry and make it look more aesthetically pleasing? A simple trick can help. Simply soak the raisins in warm water or milk and dust them with flour before adding them to the cheesecake or dough. This prevents the dried fruit from sinking to the bottom. For yeast pastries, it's best to add the raisins along with the sugar and other ingredients before the dough rises.
