Never buy Great Value brand, I did one time. Forget it. A bunch of stems and weird things in the box. No thanks. Dole is fine. Sunmaid, fine. Do not go cheap on raisins.

I make my own. I like the ones made out of Canadice grapes the best. They are zingy. Raisins for adults.

I use Craisins in my baking instead of raisins.

I'm impressed!

We get SunMade organic at Costco.

I'm curious how anyone can tell the difference -- stems notwithstanding, of course.

I usually buy organic raisins from Trader Joe's.
