Sultana


Explanation:
I believe your word may be misspelled. I did a search on Google, and "saltana" did have quite a few hits. However, the dictionary I used only recognizes "Sultana," and I've found more hits for Sultana on Google.

This is what I've found:

"Sultanas
Sultanas are dried raisins of Turkey.
These raisins are sold either natural or with some oil coat to get a better free flowing, depending on the final target application. Packaging normally comes in carton cases, 14 Kgs. net weight.

In the case of Sultanas, the grading depends on the number of berries and their color. The most valued calibres are standards number 9 and 10, being this last somehow slightly bigger and having a little lighter color."

Hope this helps!!!

If you want more info, just look up "sultanas" on Google. You'll find quite a bit of information. Good luck!

agree  Yuri Geifman: I found a few spelled "saltanas" as well - in cooking recipes, along with raisins

  -> The spelling may be subjective, but what I found was that Miriam-Webster and Encarta both recognize Sultana and not Saltana... "Saltanas" does appear in a lot of recipes, though.
