Turkish thompson raisins are very popular in world markets with its similar taste and odour to californian style although its reasonable prices. Thompson raisins darker than sultana raisin, is because they are not treated with potassium carbonate and olive oil solution - hence the drying time is longer than sultanas. As they stay longer under the sun, they become darker in colour.
Sultanas are produced from varieties of seedless grapes, dried to concentrate their rich flavour. Normally it takes up to 3 weeks for the grapes to dry. To minimise the time and retain the light colour farmers use a potassium carbonate and olive oil solution which cracks the invisible membrane on the grape and speeds the drying time. Grapes dried in this manner are called sultanas.
