      More interesting is your artistic choice of beautifully matching bowl!

    2. If you soak a raisin in grape juice it becomes a grape, and that’s a rock fact

    3. Did you eat it how did it taste would you please tell us? Some of us are curious. Thank you.

      The last time I ate oatmeal (50 years ago), I put raisins in it while it was still cooking. They came out looking like engorged ticks.

    5. In French raisin means grape and grappe means grape cluster. That would have been really impressive.

    6. I’ve heard of someone who did this accidentally by adding raisins to their overnight oats. The next day they just had oats with rehydrated grapes in them.

      I threw up a red round thing a few days ago, and I’m just now realizing my craisens just absorbed water and reinflated

    8. My aunt used to soak raisins in gin for arthritis, they were always plump as grapes when she eat them

      I never knew how badly I wanted to know the answer to a question I never though about.

      That is a level of neat not seen since Marge Simpsons potato.

    10. My eldest, when he was 6 or so (he turns 27 in August), described a raisin as a thirsty grape.

      I just showed this to my wife, she remarked that it’s no longer thirsty.

    11. This is exactly what I do to my raisins when I make banana bread.

      …only the water is Jack Daniels.

    12. I make wine from grape juice concentrate. I add raisins to the red wine to improve the structure. They rehydrate like this. I press them and include it in the wine.

    13. I see that a lot in cooking shows like Chopped. They get dried fruit or whatever and they start re-hydrating it usually in a cooking wine or such for their dish.

      This would happen to me when I make curry. I learned to add the raisins at serving time, least I end up with grape curry

    15. When my grandpa finally got out of the pool, the same thing happened.

      I found out this happened when my toddler ate raisins and then got a stomach bug and puked up grapes

      This is actually a technique in some recipes. Not with water but if you soak raisins in liqueurs or something like a balsamic mix, they absorb a ton of flavor. Really elevates a salad or things like that.

      Reminds me of the book “Danny the Champion of the World” where the father and son would leave raisins in water to plump it up and then slip sleeping meds in them to hunt pheasants

      Umm this is something you can do on the regular yknow?

      My family regularly soaks them though idk if it is better for you that way or if it’s just word of mouth.

    20. Pro tip for oatmeal raisin cookies: soak your raisins in water for like a half hour before mixing them into your dough and they’ll be plumper

    21. I once left an open bag of beef jerky out in the rain over night. Woke up to a pasture of cows.

      One time my toddler ate a raisin and it later came back out of him as a rehydrated grape. Most ridiculous shit I ever saw.
