sultana raisin

A sultana is a type of raisin made from a pale yellow, seedless grape, also known as the Sultanina grape. While the term "sultana" can also refer to a woman in a sultan's family, in the context of fruit, it specifically denotes this variety of grape and the dried fruit derived from it.1

Raisins, in general, are dried grapes and have a long history, with evidence of their cultivation dating back to ancient Persia and Egypt. Today, major producers include Turkey and the United States. Sultana raisins, often produced from the Thompson Seedless grape, are typically light in color and are frequently used in baked goods. They are a good source of iron.2
