Boxed v. Bulk Raisins

Date: August 28, 2008 07:57PM The raisins in the boxes or cans seem to be coated with an oil, probably to help them flow into the containers during the packaging process. I noticed that the golden raisins in the bulk section say that they are coated with oil, but that the black raisins in the bulk section say that they are just raisins. The black raisins also stick together when I'm bagging them up, but the golden raisins are easy to bag. Since I've been eating a lot of raisins, I noticed that I don't like the oiled raisins.

brand, if you live in the US. I buy them for my Mother. They're too concentrated in Sugar for me.....WY Re: Boxed v. Bulk Raisins

Date: August 29, 2008 12:39AM I'll have to look into that, thanks. Right now, I'm liking the bulk black raisins the best. It's just puzzling that it isn't list on the box or can that oil has been added to them. Re: Boxed v. Bulk Raisins

Date: August 29, 2008 05:17PM Some bands add oil (usually sunflower oil) to their raisins to make them moist, shiny and to prevent them to stick together....
I prefer raisins with no oil too, in my case, it is easy to find sultana raisins with no oil, but very difficult to find flames or thomsons without oil... Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
