Sultanas
Any kind of grape may be used to produce golden raisins, and any kind of golden raisins from any kind of grape may be marketed as “sultanas”. Moreover, the golden colour may come from a treatment with sulfur dioxide rather than traditional drying and preservation methods. Most nonorganic sultana grapes in California and elsewhere are treated with the growth-inducing plant hormone gibberellin. In other grapes, gibberellin is released by the seeds.
