Description
What Are Afghan Green Raisins?
Afghan Green Raisins are made from the Thompson Seedless or Kismis grape variety, which is green in color and has a smooth texture. The grapes are carefully dried in the sun to preserve their natural sugars and nutrients, resulting in raisins that are plump, juicy, and delicious.
- Harvesting: These raisins are made from grapes that are harvested when fully ripe, and then they are carefully dried to retain their flavor, texture, and nutritional value. In some cases, they are also dried in shaded areas or with minimal heat to preserve their natural color.
- Color and Appearance: Afghan Green Raisins are typically light to medium green in color and are less shriveled than some other types of raisins. They are often larger and juicier due to the drying process used in Afghanistan, which allows them to retain more moisture compared to some other dried grapes.
