The history of grapes goes back to ancient times. The first mention of the fruits of cultural grapes refers to the times of Babylon and Ancient Egypt. People have long appreciated the magnificent sweet taste of grape berries and the wonderful drink obtained from them. For many centuries, people have tried to improve the grapes - to make its berries larger, sweeter, brighter. We see the result today on the shelves of stores - a huge number of varieties of grapes that differ in color, shape, taste, degree of sweetness , etc. With such abundance, even the most picky gourmet will be able to find exactly the sort that will fully meet all his wishes and requirements.
According to statistics, the most popular grapes in the world is kishmish. In comparison with other varieties, its berries are not so large, but much sweeter. The main difference of the kishmish is that it practically does not have bones: they are so small that they are almost invisible.

Those who are just beginning to follow the number of calories and nutrients in their menus are often asked if there is a difference between light and dark kishmish. Caloric content of green grapes of kishmish is practically indistinguishable from the caloric value of its dark fellow.

Therefore, if you plan not only to eat delicious berries, but want to saturate the body with vitamins, safely choose black sultana. But people prone to allergic reactions are better off to prefer white sours: any green fruit causes allergies at times less often.
Both white and black gruel gruel freshly have a calorie content much lower than the raisins from these varieties.
