Excerpt from Factors Influencing the Yield, Composition, and Quality of Raisins

In addition to the grape variety, the trade names applied to raisins may signify the method of drying (natural, golden-bleached, sulfur-bleached, lexia) the principal place of origin (vostizza, Patras, Pyrgos, Smyrna, Mal aga, Valencia) the condition in which the raisins are offered for sale (layers, loose, seeded) the size grades (4 crown, 3 crown, 2 crown, and so forth) and the quality grades (extra standard, standard, substandard; extra fancy, fancy, choice). Often the trade terms have different significance in different regions or with different kinds of raisins. The crown grades, for example, used in California to indicate only the size of Muscat raisins, when applied to the sultana and lexia raisins of Australia indicate also color and quality. The Greek terms Vostizza, Patras, and Pyrgos, while primarily names of produc ing regions, are also suggestive or indicative of quality.
