Crimson raisins, also known as red raisins, are a type of dried grape that brings a burst of natural sweetness and chewy texture to a variety of dishes. In baking, they can be incorporated into bread, cookies, muffins, and cakes, adding a natural sweetness and a pop of color. They can also be used in granola, trail mix, and oatmeal for a nutritious and flavorful boost. On the savory side, crimson raisins can be added to salads, rice dishes, and couscous for a touch of sweetness and texture contrast.
