Sultanas 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.

Are raisins high in cholesterol?
Eating raisins alone will not help you to lose weight. Raisins are dried grapes, and grapes have more sugar in them by weight than any other fruit. Whilst natural sugar (in fruit) is preferable to refined sugar (in chocolate), the fact is that raisins are still full of natural sugar, which the body will convert to fat after consumption.
Eating raisins may help you to lose weight only as part of a calorie controlled diet. If you usually eat a chocolate bar in the afternoon but instead replace this with a handful of raisins, this will probably mean that you are consuming fewer calories (as chocolate contains refined sugar and fat and lots of artificial ingredients) than you usually do. But to see any noticeable difference, you will have to overhaul your whole diet. It would take a very long time to notice any weight loss from changing this one behaviour alone.
Exercise combined with healthy eating is the best way to lose weight. To lose weight you have to consume fewer calories than you burn off, so that you start to burn body fat. So it's good to burn off loads of calories with exercise.
To unstick raisins, place them in a bowl and cover them with warm water for about 10-15 minutes. This will help rehydrate them and loosen any clumping. After soaking, drain the water and gently separate the raisins with your fingers. Alternatively, you can toss them with a small amount of cornstarch or flour to help separate them without moisture.
