Drying grapes

Drying grapes is a process that removes moisture to produce raisins. This can be done naturally by laying grapes in the sun or using controlled environments with warm air. As moisture evaporates, the grapes shrink and become concentrated in sugars and flavors. Proper drying is essential to prevent mold and ensure quality. The process transforms fresh, juicy grapes into sweet, preserved treats that can be stored longer without refrigeration. It’s a delicate balance of temperature, humidity, and timing to achieve the desired texture and taste in the dried fruit.
