A raisin is a dark coloured large dried grape, while a sultana is a golden coloured smaller dried grape. Raisins are produced in many regions of the world and may be eaten raw or used in cooking, baking and brewing. The drying of grapes into raisins has been practiced since ancient times. Raisins were produced in Persia and Egypt as early as 2000 B.C.
