I love to keep this large container on hand so that I can quickly add nutritious raisins to multiple recipes.  They taste really good on my honey almond granola.  I also make fresh Indian chutneys with these, as well as the standard "trail mix" that includes nuts.  If I get a sweet tooth after dinner, I can grab a few of these and staves off the desire for that cheesecake.  I wish the lid fit better, as the container is made out of a thin, wax coated cardboard.  I may get a glass container with a solid lid so that I can keep these fresh longer.
