Malekania golden Kashmari raisins are produced from elongated and seeded grapes; a variety whose cultivation is mostly common in the eastern regions of Iran. The bright golden color, distinct elongated shape, and mild sweetness have made this product a popular choice for nut mixes and snacks. The difference between the green and yellow colors of this type of raisin lies in its processing and curing method, as the taste of the yellow version is slightly sharper than the green versions of this raisin. Its attractive appearance and special shape also make golden Kashmari raisins suitable for retail packaging and premium products.
