Introduction:
Grapes are the fruits of the vine. They taste sweet to sweet-sour and nicely aromatic. Sultanas are the dried fruits of the vine (grapes). They taste fruity and very sweet because the fruits hang on the vine until they have developed their maximum sugar content. The generic term sultanas also includes sultanas and currants.
Use/Preparation:
Grapes are suitable as a fruity snack, cake topping, in fruit salads and savoury salads or in muesli. Grapes are also used to make jam, wine, juice, schnapps, sparkling wine, champagne, prosecco, vinegar and grape seed oil. Sultanas also taste good pure as a snack, in muesli or porridge, in pastries, desserts, sweets (chocolate) and desserts such as semolina pudding and rice pudding, chutneys or stews.
Health:
Notable amounts of vitamins (B vitamins, vitamin C) and minerals (iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium) are contained in grapes. The darker the grape, the higher its content of the flavonoid anthocyanin, a secondary plant ingredient that has a strong antioxidant, anti-flammatory and anti-carcinogenic effect and can positively influence the cardiovascular system. Although sultanas consist largely of sugar, they also contain a whole range of valuable nutrients.
Alternatives:
Grapes can be replaced by other berries such as raspberries, strawberries, blueberries or blackberries. They are particularly rich in anthocyanins and vitamins. As an alternative to sultanas, other dried fruits such as apricot, plums, figs or dates are suitable. They can be used in a comparable way.
