ran is one of the world’s oldest and largest producers of premium raisins. With its rich soil, sunny climate, and centuries of grape cultivation, Iran produces raisins that are naturally sweet, nutrient-rich, and highly versatile — making them a favorite among importers, retailers, and food manufacturers worldwide.

At Zaragro, we proudly offer a wide range of high-quality Iranian raisins tailored to your market’s needs — whether for bulk supply, retail packaging, or industrial use.

🇮🇷 What Makes Iranian Raisins Special?

1. Ideal Climate & Traditional Drying Methods

Iran’s dry climate and abundant sunshine create perfect conditions for sun-dried grapes. Unlike artificial drying, Iranian raisins are often naturally sun-dried on open-air racks, preserving their taste, texture, and color without chemical processing.

2. Rich in Flavor & Nutrients

Iranian raisins are:

  • Naturally sweet (no added sugar)
  • High in antioxidants, iron, and fiber
  • Low in fat and cholesterol-free
    These qualities make them ideal for healthy snacking, baking, confectionery, breakfast cereals, and more.
