Gold Raisins are dried Seedless grapes of the Vitis vinifera species. Customers also know this raisin as Dark Brown Raisin or Seedless Dark Thompson.
As it is clear from its name the color of this raisin is golden. Farmers start processing the golden raisins with double washing it. Then we dry it in the shadows and coat them with vegetable oil so it doesn’t lose its moisture too quickly. Also, so the berries don’t stick to each other. Besides, the oil gives berries a moderate shine. The next step is to remove the stems and clean them. The final step is laser sorting them.
