How to Keep Raisins Fresh (3 Steps)
Raisins make a sweet snack or a tasty addition to cereals, breads and salads. Raisins are also used in cooking, where their tart sweetness complements savory sauces and glazes. Though raisins come from dried grapes, some moisture is left in the small fruits, so they can sometimes go bad in a warm, humid environment. In a dry environment, they may dry out and their sugar may crystalize. With proper storage, raisins can keep their flavor and remain safe to eat for several months or longer.
