The Truth About Sultanas

While you might think you are doing the right thing giving your children a healthy snack with these little delicious morsels, we are sad to say that they are absolutely terrible for teeth!

Sultanas and other dried fruits are very high in sugar and very, very sticky!! They bind themselves to the teeth, snuggling into the grooves, lingering for hours as a constant drip feed of sugar. The bacteria in the mouth also go into a sugar feeding frenzy causing an acidic environment. The higher the acidity the higher the chance of cavities.

As an alternative, we suggest you stick to the fresh stuff instead!
