Why do people hate raisins? They’re chewy little sugar bombs. What’s not to like?
I love raisins by themselves, or sometimes in food like Tagine
Raisins in baking are almost always a disappointment
They’re fine as long as they’re inside the baked good. Won’t get roasted too much there.
Those burnt one on the surface are terrible.
Raisins are fine until you eat a cookie expecting chocolate chips and get a raisins instead.

To the American palate natural sugars taste like sour lemons. The rest of the world goes crazy for sultanas or raisins in things because they are such a sweet little surprise. To Americans raised on a steady diet of factory brewed high fructose corn syrup, they seem to offend and overwhelm their senses.
I hear so much raisin hate on American podcasts etc. I’ll never understand it.
Lol that’s absurd hahaha People have different palletes and culture and socioeconomic history. To just slash out us little Americans for a quick jab is ignorant at best. Everyone loves fruit in America. Everyone on earth loves fruit. Put that pet theory to rest.
For what it’s worth, I love raisins in bread, cereal, salads and cookie and I’m American as they come.
Someone gave out little boxes of raisins on Halloween. I poured them into my mouth. They had worms in them. To this day I’m suspicious of raisins.
Damn it, man! I just bought a big pack of those little boxes of raisins for my toddler yesterday. Now I’m gonna remember this and instinctively check the damn box before I give them to her. Thanks a lot!!
Well I hope you do! Just pour the raisins into your palm, see that they’re fine, put them back in the little box for the kid to pinch out one at a time. Meanwhile, put all the little boxes in a ziplock bag to keep pantry moths out. If you want to be extra sure, I think if you froze them for a day or two you’d probably kill anything that was already in there.
