What are the differences between RAISINS and SULTANAS?!
Sultanas are small raisins. They are seedless, sweet, pale golden in colour and come mainly from Turkey.
Currants are dried, black, seedless grapes originally produced in Greece. They were known as 'raisins of the sun'.

They are dried grapes....Colour and sizeof grapes...
sultanas taste nice
different sorts and sizes of grape and the way they are dried
Raisins are dark...so i assume red grapes. Sultanans are greener...so i assume theyre green grapes.
Raisins are darker and smaller and they are not married to Sultans.
they are grapes so no real difference

I recall asking this question once and being told that they are both Raisins (dried grapes) but one is just simply a Raisin and one is a Sultana Raisin as it was from the Sultana variety Grape.
We used to seeing them marketed with seperate names and the sultana is normally the bigger lighter softer of the two.
sultanas, as i was informed, are made of specifically sultana grapes. it's like wines that take their names from specific grapes, like merlot from merlot grapes.
