Raisins
Raisins are dried grapes, with the drying process taking about 15-20 days. Evidence has shown that raisins were produced by the Egyptians as early as 2000 B.C.
During the late 1800’s Spanish missionaries from Mexico introduced grapes to the USA. These early vineyards were primarily used to make wines, however in 1873 when the vineyards discovered they could make quicker profits by making raisins, the raisin industry was born.
Most raisins are from California, but Chile, Turkey, Iran, South Africa and Australia also produce raisins.
