Ubujamo bezulu obutjhisako, nebomileko endaweni le bulungele kobana kungakhiqizwa amadiribe okwenza bona nebubulo lama-raisin libe khona eduze likhambisane nelamadiribe wetafuleni afretjhi esifundenesi.
Amadiribe avunwa ekuthomeni kanye naphakathi kwebusika bese ayonyiswa alungiswe esifundenesi. Inzuzo ehle etholakala ngokurhweba ngama-raisin emarageni zalapha nezenarha zangaphandle kwenza bona ibubulweli liragele phambili nokukhula.

Ama-Raisins ngokwesiko onyiswa ngelanga lokha ukuwomisa ngelanga kungabizi, umkhiqizo lo ungenwa zinunwana ezifaka iimilwane ezibuya ebhodulukweni.
Abakhiqizi bomisa amadiribe ngelanga basebenzise umthunzi nanyana bakhiphe amadiribe amanzi ngokusebenzisa umtjhini ngaphasi kwelawulo lobuswe kanye nokulawulwa kwamazinga womtjhiso.
Ngemva kokuwomisa, bawakhetha ngokuhluka kwesayizi yawo basuse nezinye izinto ezingafunekiko. Ama-raisin afakwa i-sulphur dioxide nasele ome ngokupheleleko.
