Raisin

A raisin is a dried grape and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking, and brewing. Raisin varieties depend on the type of grape and appear in a variety of sizes and colors including green, black, brown, purple, blue, and yellow. Raisins are traditionally sun-dried, but may also be artificially dehydrated.
