Recently I saw a new take on the classic raisin available in store with Sun-Maid Sour Raisins. They are basically raisins that have added flavor and a bit of sour taste. The varieties available are Strawberry, Mixed Berry, Grape, and Watermelon. I decided to try out the watermelon flavor.I got them at Target on sale for about $2.50 for a box of 7 packs. Each pack is 60 calories. It has 13 grams of sugar but no added sugar. The ingredients are pretty simple with no artificial flavors or colors.
Upon opening up a pack, they smell like candy watermelon flavor. I was a bit surprised by the appearance because it says they are golden raisins but inside I found them to be a mix of golden raisins and the regular kind of raisins.
The taste was less sour than I expected. It is mildly sour, but if you eat a lot at a time, it tastes more sour. It also has the watermelon flavor as well. Overall I enjoyed the taste. It is a nice upgrade to the common raisin by combining it with additional flavors and the sour taste to give it a little more complexity.
I would recommend them if you like raisins, are looking for a healthier alternative to fruit snacks, or if you would just like to try something new.
