How to Use
- Morning detox: Soak 8–10 raisins overnight, drink the water and eat the plumped fruit on an empty stomach.
- Trail-mix energy bombs: Pair with walnuts & apricots for a mid-workout boost.
- Breakfast toppers: Sprinkle over oatmeal, muesli or Greek yoghurt.
- Kashmiri cuisine: Add to Shufta, pilafs or biryani for a sweet-savory pop.
- Bakery bliss: Fold into cakes, muffins, granola bars & sourdough.
- Skin tonic: Blend 5 raisins with milk/honey for a 15-min antioxidant face mask.
Purity Check at Home
- Water test: Drop a few raisins in a glass of warm water. Pure, unsugared raisins sink; coated or adulterated ones often float or release colour.
- No sulphur aroma: Smell the raisins after opening — organic batches will have a rich grape scent with no sharp sulphur-dioxide odour.
- Tissue test: Rub between white tissues; absence of oily stains indicates zero artificial glazing agents.
- Uniform matte sheen: Natural sun-drying leaves a gentle bloom — overly glossy raisins may be oil-polished.
