[Italian, feminine of sultano, sultan, from Arabic sulṭān. See sultan.]

Made from golden sultana grapes; the bunches are dipped in alkali, washed, sulphured, and dried. Sultanas of the European type produced in the USA are termed seedless raisins. A 20-g portion is a source of copper; provides 1.4 g of dietary fibre; supplies 50 kcal (210 kJ). See also currants, dried; fruit, dried; raisins.

[suhl-TAN-uh] Originating in Smyrna, Turkey, this small, pale golden-green grape was once used to make wine. Today, however, it's cultivated primarily for raisins. Its offspring in the United States is known as the Thompson seedless grape. See also raisin.

[suhl-TAN-uh] Originating in Smyrna, Turkey, this small, pale golden-green grape is the most widely planted variety in Cal­ifornia. There it's known as Thompson Seedless, after William Thomp­son, the first commercial Sultana grower in California. In the United States, during the white-wine boom of the 1970s, Sultana was widely used for winemaking. Today, however, varieties like french colombard and chenin blanc have diminished Sultana's role. In California, Sultana's use for winemaking ranks third behind its demand first as a raisin and then as a table grape. Sultana is also widely grown in Aus­tralia and Chile. It produces a neutral-flavored wine used in jug wines and inexpensive sparkling wines.
