What is this product?

Sultana (Thompson Seedless) grapes are one of the most popular and naturally sweet seedless grape varieties, now proudly cultivated in Saudi Arabia. Known for their golden-green hue, tender skin, and juicy texture, these grapes deliver a mild sweetness with a crisp, refreshing bite. The Saudi-grown Sultana grapes are nurtured under the Kingdom’s warm, sunny climate, which enhances their natural sugar content and aroma while maintaining excellent firmness and flavor. Perfect for eating fresh, making juices, or drying into raisins, Sultanas are a powerhouse of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants. With their natural sweetness and health-boosting properties, they make an excellent choice for both healthy snacking and culinary use.

🌍 Origin
