Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the main difference between Xinjiang Green Kismis and standard dark raisins?
Xinjiang Green Kismis raisins are dried naturally inside shaded, ventilated brick drying houses in hot desert regions. This shade-drying process preserves their natural green chlorophyll color, elongated shape, and refreshing fruity tartness, whereas standard dark raisins are sun-dried directly on open trays, causing caramelization and a darker, heavier flavor.
Q2: How do you prevent bulk raisins from sticking or clumping together during ocean shipment?
During final processing and stem removal, we apply a micro-thin coating (≤0.5%) of non-hydrogenated food-grade vegetable sunflower oil to the raisin surface. This prevents free sugars from forming sticky bridges, ensuring easy free-flowing dispensing in automated industrial bakery feeders.
Q3: Do your China Kismis raisins comply with EU and US FDA pesticide residue regulations?
Yes. Every batch of raisins undergoes comprehensive laboratory testing (SGS or Eurofins). We issue batch-specific Certificates of Analysis (COA) confirming zero heavy metal toxicity, safe ochratoxin A (OTA) levels, and pesticide residue compliance with EU MRL standards and US FDA import rules.
Q4: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) and sample lead time?
Our minimum order quantity for standard 10kg/12.5kg bulk cartons is 1 Metric Ton (1,000 kg). For full container loads (a 20ft FCL holds approx. 14–16 Metric Tons), we offer competitive tiered volume pricing. Standard sample packages (250g–500g) are available free of charge for prospective corporate buyers (buyer covers express air freight).
