🟡 Yellow Raisins – Nature’s Sweet Gold

 🌞 What are Yellow Raisins?

Yellow raisins are dried grapes made using a special drying process, often treated with sulfur dioxide to retain their bright golden color. They are plump, juicy, and slightly tangy-sweet in flavor.

Unlike black raisins that are sun-dried, yellow raisins are usually oven-dried or dehydrated, which gives them their unique color and soft texture.
