Sultanas are dried grapes. Unlike raisins they have a seed. This is my favourite dry fruit I like it with the seed as it is crunchy,
During Christmas time my father bought a whole lot of dry fruits and among them were the Sultanas.
It was my father's birthday on December 25 and it was always celebrated in style.
The house was full of activity besides dry fruits we made a whole lot of sweets, cleaned house and got ready for the midnight mass. We sang in the choir.

Sultanas are dried ‘seedless’ grapes. Raisins are like sultanas, just made from a different grape.
If yours have seeds in then they are not the norm. If you like them like this then great, but you’ll have to always check in future you don’t buy the seedless ones.

Well, forget about Sultans for a while. What instantly struck me is they your father's birthday falls on December 25. It's one of the easiest days to remember for anyone.
One of my friend's birthday is also on December 25. So, it's that easy to remember.

Dried grapes sound delicious! I believe I had them when I was younger. It’s been ages since I last enjoyed one.

They sound good. I'm not really a fan of dried fruit but freeze dried are amazing. I got addicted to apples lol.

@allknowing They're not frozen but freeze dried. Another type of dehydration really. They're really good. I thought about getting a freeze dry machine but they are super expensive.

@JordanLader Once they are freeze dried I suppose they are not kept in a freezer
