🍇 The story of Yemeni black raisins

Black grapes are dried until their sugar concentrates and the fruit darkens, giving a near-black colour and a deep fruity flavour. They are a familiar sight beside rice and meat dishes and sweets, and differ from golden raisins in their darker colour and deeper taste.

🍚 How to use them

Fry a handful in a little ghee until plump and spoon them over kabsa or mandi with toasted nuts. Stir them into rice pudding, oatmeal or yogurt, bake them into bread and cookies, or serve them beside Arabic coffee and dates for guests.
