Question

What's the difference between a raisin a sultana and a current? What were each of them before they were dried?

Answer 1

The REAL answer to your question as posted is:

Raisins and sultanas are dried grapes.

A current is the passage of electricity.

If you meant currants, then that too is a dried grape - they're either from black grapes (raisins) or white seedless (sultanas) or some tiny little thing whose names escapes me, but gives the impression that - judging by its tiny size, should never have been taken from their mother !

Answer 2

Not sure about currants-possibly blueberries or blackcurrants. A raisin is a dried grape, and sultanas, as far as I know, are dried grapes as well, probably different varieties. Sultanas and raisins are bigger and softer than currants.  

Answer 3

They are all dried grapes, sultanas are seedless grapes and the currant is from the black corinth seedless grape

Answer 4

I think the name indicates the degree of drying used to produce them - a currant and a raisin are slightly more dried than a sultana. Each was a grape before being dried.

Answer 5

I THINK raisins were red grapes, sultanas were white grapes, and currents were currents.....maybe

Answer 6

Sultana - dried white seedless grape

Raisin - dried large dark grape

CURRENT - in general circulation or use; (of time); water, air moving in a given direction; transmission of electrical force.

Answer 7

arent raisins and sultanas the same thing? they were both grapes. and a currant was a currant.

Currant is a variety of small, sweet, seedless grape named after Corinth (currant) and the Ionian island of Zakynthos (Zante).

Sultana  is a type of white, seedless grape of Turkish or Iranian origin.
