Kishmish, also known as raisins, are dried grapes commonly used in cooking, baking, and as a nutritious snack. They come in various colors, including golden, green, and dark brown, depending on the type of grape used. To create kishmish, grapes are dried naturally in the sun or through dehydration, which removes their original moisture content, resulting in smaller, wrinkled fruits with concentrated sweetness. They are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making them a popular choice for enhancing flavors in various dishes or enjoyed on their own as a healthy snack.
