FAQ
Sun-cured raisins enter high-speed centrifugal destemming drums where rotating beaters cleanly shear away woody stems and capstems without damaging the berry flesh. The fruit then flows through multi-stage vortex hydro-washers where abrasive sands and heavy quartz particles settle out. Finally, infrared optical color sorters eject shriveled, green, or foreign items, delivering completely clean, ready-to-use culinary fruit requiring no re-washing in kitchens.
Backed by calibrated moisture levels (13% to 16%) and natural curing, the berries retain an elastic skin and juicy core. During gentle pan-sautéing over low heat, natural fructose sugars caramelize smoothly, plumping the raisins into glossy spheres without blistering, scorching, or blackening, resulting in an eye-catching culinary garnish over saffron rice.
Moisture content is calibrated between 13.0% and 16.0%. An ultra-thin conditioning mist of refined food-grade vegetable oil (under 0.4%) eliminates inter-berry adhesion and water evaporation. Warehousing cartons in cool, climate-controlled facilities below 15°C with moderate relative humidity prevents fructose sugaring and fermentation.
The wholesale minimum order for restaurant suppliers and institutional distributors is 1,000kg (100 to 200 master cartons of 5kg or 10kg). Heavy 5-ply cartons lined with sealed blue food-grade polyethylene bags protect the fruit from ambient humidity, road dust, and odor transfers. Retail film packs of 450g and 900g are also supplied.
Consignments undergo HPLC assays at accredited laboratories to certify that Ochratoxin A (OTA) mycotoxin levels remain strictly below regulatory limits (under 10 ppb), alongside comprehensive pesticide screens. Analytical COAs verifying total sugars, moisture, and physical purity are supplied with IFDA health permits and Phytosanitary certificates for export clearance.
To arrest pest egg incubation and avoid pulp dehydration, cartons must be stored in climate-controlled facilities between 8°C and 15°C with 50% to 60% relative humidity. Avoiding direct sunlight and maintaining sealed inner polyethylene liners preserves succulent chewiness and rich flavor for up to 18 months.
