AHA!!!

"Do you know the difference between raisins, sultanas and currants?

Raisins are dried white grapes usually of the variety 'Muscatel'. The main producers are the USA, Turkey, Greece and Australia.

Sultanas are small raisins. They are seedless, sweet, pale golden in colour and come mainly from Turkey.

Currants are dried, black, seedless grapes originally produced in Greece. They were known as 'raisins of the sun'."

Then why are there both green and purple on the picture on the pack for sultanas?

Sultanas are made from green grapes, raisins are made from purple ones!

Presume it takes a long time to send them all.
