noun
raisins; dried grapes
Refers to dried grapes, commonly called raisins. The loanword レーズン is also used, but 干しぶどう is the native Japanese term.
See also: レーズン

干しぶどうはお菓子作りによく使われます。
Raisins are often used in making sweets.
レーズン is the loanword from English 'raisin', commonly used in product names and Western recipes. 干しぶどう is the native Japanese term and may feel slightly more traditional or descriptive.
Compound of 干し (hoshi, 'drying') + ぶどう (budō, 'grape'). The kanji 干す means 'to dry', and 葡萄 is the kanji for grape, though ぶどう is more commonly written in kana.
