Raisins are dried grapes and, in the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia, the term specifically refers to dried dark-coloured dark grapes, with currants being small Black Corinth seedless grapes and sultanas being golden-coloured dried grapes. Even within raisins, there can be different varieties depending on the type of grape used and, in the U.S., raisin can also be used to refer to what would be called a currant elsewhere. Nutritionally, raisins contain a lot of sugar, as well as dietary fibre and protein.
Raisins, though they can and are eaten on their own, often covered in chocolate, are frequently used as an ingredient in other dishes, especially cakes, puddings and pastries. Even without adding directly as an ingredient, they are also sometimes mixed with other foods, such as in trail mix.
