Why do raisins swell when kept in water?
Raisins are just dried grapes, so when raisins are kept in water they re-absorb liquid (that they lost in the drying process). They swell to accommodate the new liquid.

You can but there is no actual need to do so. Raisins are dried grapes that are sugar coated. They can be kept at room temperature in a cupboard or in a refrigerator.

What the difference between raisins and currants?
Dark raisins: These are the most common variety found in most markets, usually made from Thompson seedless grapes. Although they start as green grapes, the fruit naturally darkens as it dries.• White or golden raisins: These are also called muscats and are generally made of white muscat grapes which are seeded, specially oven-dried (rather than by sun), and treated to retain their light color. Some golden raisins are dried Thompson seedless raisins which have been kept light by the use of sulfur dioxide.• Sultanas: More popular in Europe, these raisins come from a seedless yellow grape and are usually softer and sweeter than other varieties. The American variety of sultana grape is the Thompson seedless.• Currants: Although there is a gooseberry relative known as the currant, the dried currant raisin is actually made from Black Corinth grape called Zante. They are tiny, seedless, and very sweet but do bear a resemblance to the currant berry. The name confusion comes not only from the currant raisin's similar appearance to the currant berry, but also due to the similarity of the sounds of the fruit names, ie., currant sounds like Corinth, the variety of grape. Tiny dried currants are extremely sweet and aromatic.Raisins are dried white grapes usually of the variety 'Muscatel'. The main producers are the USA, Turkey, Greece and Australia.Sultanas are small raisins. They are seedless, sweet, pale golden in colour and come mainly from Turkey.Currants are dried, black, seedless grapes originally produced in Greece. They were known as 'raisins of the sun'.
What will happen if dried apricots are kept in water?
If you put dried apricots in water, they absorb the water and at least try to return to their pre-drying state. (They're never quite the same as before, but they will absorb a lot of water.) If you leave them in water too long, though, they'll get moldy and you'll have to throw them away.
Why should the dried sample be kept in desiccator for cooling?

Are sultanas healthier than raisins?
AnswerSultanas are made from green grapes. Raisins are made from dark grapes.According to OChef.com (see related links, below), the generic term for a dried grape is '''raisin'''. A '''Sultana''' is a particular type of raisin. Compared to a regular raisin a sultana is lighter in colour, sweeter and more moist, and less acidic.Originally, Sultanas were produced in Turkey, from the Sultana variety of grape. Nowadays, they are produced from the same variety of grapes as other raisins but by a different process. They are treated with sulphur dioxide and heated artificially. Other raisins are allowed to dry and darken in the sunlight.A heated debate exist between lovers of Sultana's and Raisins. Personally, I believe that raisins are considerably tastier and sultanas are icky. But Anna who is sitting here thinks that sultanas are better.
