Missing info
- Are raisins individually plucked, i.e. removed from the stem or has the industry invented some form of machinery to automate this rather tedious job if must be done by hand? Anonymous
Rehydration
What do you call a raisin after you rehydrate it, is it still called a raisin or does it go back to being a grape?Jay the Despicable 02:55, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
haha, a raisin always stays a raisin. Markthemac (talk) 01:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Does it, though? - Dragonlover21 (talk) 17:35, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
Poisonous to dogs
Someone should really add a section about that to the article. Raisins are very dangerous to dogs after all so I think it deserves being mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pyrolord777 (talk • contribs) 22:31, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Munakka – a variety of raisin?
I have found various references to "Munakka" but was not sure what that was until I did a web-search, where I found the following (although nothing on Wikipedia):
According to the above, Munakka is also known as black grape raisin – so, I would expect to see it described here, but I didn't. However, I did see:
- Grapes used to produce raisins in the Middle East and Asia include the large black monukka (or manucca) grapes that produce large raisins.
This leads me to suspect that monukka or manucca are both variant spellings of "munakka" – if so, who knows which is the more authorative spelling. In any event, I suspect that this is an Indian noun, presumably from one, or more, of the dialects spoken in South Asia.
Comments? If someone has more knowledge then I, then I would welcome clarification in the article.
