These petite, organic Hunza Raisins have the classic "golden raisin" color and tender sweet flavor. These are an heirloom variety that is not genetically modified, in fact you will almost be able to detect the small seeds protected in the center of this fruit.
Our Hunza Raisins are from the pristine mountainous Hunza region of Pakistan. Grown 6,000 - 9,000 feet above sea level, they are irrigated by mineral-rich glacial melt waters from high altitudes. Ancient organic farming methods insure the preservation of the 2 foot thick top soil saturated with life that infuses each fruit. The raisins are allowed to attain full maturity, ripeness, and flavor before picking, ensuring they are especially nutrient-dense. After being hand picked at the peak of life, they are sun-dried in clean mountain air. These treasured raisins are an exquisite raw food that will please your palate, your conscience, and your body.
