What does RAISIN mean in Scrabble?
noun
A dried grape, eaten as food.
Raisins are made by drying grapes in the sun or in mechanical dehydrators until most of their moisture evaporates, leaving a small, wrinkled, sweet fruit. They are commonly eaten alone as a snack, added to baked goods such as bread and cookies, or mixed into cereals and trail mixes. Different grape varieties and drying methods produce raisins that vary in color, from dark brown to golden. Raisins keep far longer than fresh grapes, which made them valuable for storage and long journeys long before refrigeration existed.
