Greek Sultanas
Greek Sultanas
The sultana (also called the sultanina or sultaninini) is a type of white, seedless grape of Turkish, Greek or Iranian origin. In some countries, it is also the name given to the raisin made from it; such sultana raisins are often called simply sultanas or sultanis. These are typically larger than the currants made from Corinthian grapes, but smaller than "normal" raisins.
Sultana raisins have a delicate and unique flavour and are especially noted for their sweetness and golden colour.
The sultana raisin was traditionally imported to the English-speaking world from the Ottoman Empire. According to popular folklore from the Empire, the sultana was invented when the Sultan left his grapes in the sun after fleeing a tiger attack, hence the name sultana, from the feminine form of sultan. Turkey Greece and Australia are major producers.
