Whitworths dried fruits are high-grade produce from all over the world, selected and packed to meet our very demanding specifications. They are checked and tested at every stage, both in the country of origin and here in the U.K., to ensure they reach you in perfect condition.
Whitworths Mixed Fruit is a delicious combination of the sweetness of sun-dried vine fruit with the tart taste of fine pieces of lemon and orange peel. We bring them together from many distinct countries, whenever the climate produces top grade fruit. Our blend gives perfect flavour and consistency for mouth-watering baking results.
Whitworths Currants are small dried red grapes originally cultivated towards the south of Greece - their name comes from the ancient city of 'Corinth'. Whitworths still obtain Currants from Greece, as well as from California, Australia and South Africa. Sun-dried to concentrate their flavour, they combine well with other fruit and spices in baking and cooking.
Drying grapes to raisins goes back as far as when the Crusaders brought them to Europe from the Middle East. The Whitworths Raisins in this pack are often from further afield; the fertile San Joaquin Valley of California and the rich farmlands of South Africa. The seedless grapes are naturally sun-dried, transforming them to the perfect ingredient for baking, cooking and snacking.
Sultanas are produced from varieties of seedless grapes, dried to concentrate their rich flavour. Whitworths Sultanas come mainly from the Mediterranean area and are sun-dried to a juicy plumpness. They are ideal as a delicious ingredient for many cake and pudding recipes, as well as enhancing spicy dishes like curries.
