Disadvantages: none

I love baking fruit cakes, these sultanas are ones I will often buy for baking ..
These sultanas are available in 500g or 1kg packet's. The packaging is a red /dark pink plastic which has two clusters of grapes pictured on it , well one cluster really the other is a clear window to display the fruit.

* Price.
The 500g pack costs £1.38p the 1kg £2.65 so the bigger bag works out 11p cheaper per kg.
This bag of sultanas is not the cheapest ones in Tesco the value sultanas are cheaper 65p per 500g.

* Nutrition
295KCAL per 100g, 2.7 g protein per 100g, 0.1g per 100g, 17.4g per 100 only 0.1g fat per 100g.
Although there are no nuts in this product usually be warned tesco says there might just be a trace of nut . I guess they are packaged in the proximity of nuts .

*Quality.
These sultanas are a fairly good quality, not the best but there are a lot worse out there . Some sultanas in the pack might be a little chewy not dry just a bit chewy others plumper and juicier.

*Smell -taste.
When the bag is opened you get that fruity sultana /dried grape smell. I can never resist just popping one in my mouth to eat. These sultanas are quite plump and tasty most fairly juicy. Taste / well, Christmas with out the spice and alcohol, fairly sweet.

*Use
These are ideal for fruit cakes Christmas cakes, little buns make a great fruity biscuit. Ideal to add to cereal for breakfast, great to add to an apple pie , ideal to put in a lunch bag . In the past I have bought those red packs of snack sized helpings of fruit then refilled them with the more economical Tesco sultanas. These are great to put in for a healthy snack when out on a walk . or in fact another time too . A few of these raisins count as one of your 5 a day.

There are so many recipes with sultanas in. These ones from Tesco will do nicely for any recipe. I shall not bore you with recipes, just use your search engine to find them .
