Raisins are one of the dried fruits obtained from grapes. This nut is rich in iron, calcium, potassium, antioxidants and vitamins. Raisins come in many varieties and are available in different forms in the market. In some parts of Iran, the quality of this lovely dried fruit is so high that it is exported to modern countries. Export raisins make up a large part of Iran’s dried fruit exports, which we will discuss in more detail below. We export raisins to India, Russia, Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
Types of raisins
green raisin
Export green raisins are one of the grape derived products that are produced in two ways. The first method uses an emulsion of a mixture of percentages of potassium carbonate and raisin oil. In this method, after washing, the harvested grapes are placed in the prepared solution for 20 to 30 seconds and then they are placed on wire wires in sanitary environments and courts to dry. Another method is to use sulfur powder. In this method, sulfur powder is placed in a tray and by burning it and spreading sulfur in harmony with the valves installed in the hygienic environment into the environment of harvested grapes, it turns into raisins. Green raisins are one of the most valuable products for the country.

seeded raisin ( Abjosh)
Seeded raisins, commonly known as Abjosh, are a delightful dried fruit cherished for their unique flavor and nutritional benefits. Abjosh is typically made from specific varieties of grapes that are dried to preserve their natural sweetness and nutrients. Unlike seedless raisins, these raisins retain their seeds, adding a crunchy texture and an extra burst of flavor. Rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals such as iron, potassium, and fiber, Abjosh is often used in traditional dishes, snacks, and desserts across various cultures. Its natural sweetness makes it a healthy alternative to sugary snacks, while its fiber content aids in digestion. Additionally, the presence of seeds adds to its nutritional value, providing essential fatty acids and other beneficial compounds. Whether enjoyed on their own or incorporated into culinary creations, seeded raisins offer a delicious and healthful treat.
