Sultanas contain a variety of polyphenols (naturally occurring plant compounds) that are associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties in the body .7
Because they are a concentrated form of grapes, sultanas contribute to daily potassium intake and mineral density, which are essential for maintaining fluid balance and nerve function .10
Early research using cell models indicates that phenolic extracts from sultanas may limit the growth of certain gastric cancer cells by triggering apoptosis (programmed cell death), though more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these effects .7

Seasonality has not been estimated for this ingredient yet.
Store in a cool, dark place to prevent sugar crystallization and drying out.
Dried fruits generally have a lower carbon footprint than fresh counterparts due to reduced refrigeration needs and lighter transport weight.
Unlike raisins, which are typically dried for weeks, sultanas are often dipped in an oil-based emulsion to speed up the drying process and preserve their characteristic light golden colour.
