Sun-Maid Raisins

** Sun-maid Raisins ** Not exactly a high priority on the shopping list but after buying a mixed bag of fruit and nuts I found that boy would happily eat them. So always looking for more fruit and veg or anything vaguely healthy that I can get boy to actually eat I picked up a multi-pack of these little red boxes of raisins. Reason being it seemed a good thing to throw in his lunch for school and a lack of something to actually put raisins in...these being in there own serving size boxes are ideal. Price and Packaging... My muti-pack cost me around £2, not great value but still not that bad for the sake of convenience. For this I got 6 ...  Read the complete review

I never really gave Sun-maid raisins a second look, I much preferred to buy the bigger shops own brand of raisins, I could not see the sense in buying little over priced boxes, especially as I would be using them for cooking. The cost would have been far too much, not even the cute red box could make me change my mind. However when in a supermarket I would often look at them and wonder exactly how these managed to survive when it is so much cheaper to buy a large packet of raisins. Things changed when I started making packed lunches for when our children are going on a school trip. Most schools nowadays do not allow sweets, chocolate or fizzy pop in a packed ...  Read the complete review

I don't eat that many raisins but my little sister loves them, she's 2 and mad for anything sweet so it's a good thing she likes these because we can give her these instead of sweets and she doesn't realise she's eating something healthy! lol I brought her a 500g tub from Tesco last week and that cost £1.81, even though that's loads more expensive than the cheapo raisins they taste a lot fresher and are nicer to eat I think. These Sun Maid raisins are plump and juicy, they have got a lovely sweet flavour that is proper nice even for someone like me who isn't mad keen on dried fruit. They are harder than I was expecting them to be but I reckon ...  Read the complete review

My mum bought a multi-pack of these for the boys and I realized that I have never even tried them despite them being a well known name. I am usually a cheap skate and buy Asda Smartprice dried fruit and fill up the cheaper raisin boxes with them. My mum paid around £2 for a multi-pack of these and inside there were six boxes. Each little box has a lift the flap top which Noah finds very easy to open and it fits neatly into his little hand. The raisins looked very plump and juicy compared the ones I am used and I was surprised at how dark in colour they were. On tasting them I was actually surprised at how much better they were than the ...  Read the complete review

I have always eaten raisins. It is a quick and easy way of getting fruit into your diet. They are a fruit aren't they? It is always very easy to gloss over them though in the supermarket. What are they: Dried grapes, the Sunmaid raisins have no added oils or glazing agents and they are great as a quick snack or for drizzling over cereals or soups. The packaging: They come in varying sizes. I have bought a 500g tub. A plastic tub with a lid which you can take off and reseal to keep them fresh. The smart red design and picture of that beautiful woman with a bunch of grapes will always draw you towards the tub. The ...  Read the complete review
