Raisins
Great raisins come
from great grapes, and everyone knows that California produces
some of the best grapes in the world. From table grapes to
wine, California's unique climate and strict agricultural
standards combined produce a grape beyond comparison in the
world. Add cutting-edge dehydration technology to the equation
and it's no wonder that California raisins are the best. Fresno,
California is the raisin capital of the world, and home to
Simonian Farms.
California raisins
came about as a fortunate accident. When a hot spell in 1873
caused grapes to wither on the vine, one California grocer
decided to capitalize on the apparent misfortune of grape
growers and offered the dried fruit as a "Peruvian Delicacy."
The rest is history.
Much of the credit
for producing such wonderful raisins in the central valley
of California is due to Armenian immigrants who came to America
in the late 1800's. Armenians are renowned for their viticulture
expertise, and they brought with them the knowledge and ability
to grow the best grapes in the world. Many Armenian growers
continue to farm the central valley to this day.
Raisins are full
of antioxidants, nutrients and fiber. The USDA recommend food
guide pyramid indicates that people should eat 2-4 servings
of fruit a day, and 1/4 cup (handful) of California raisins
provides 1 serving - its that easy! So help yourself reduce
the risk of developing certain types of cancer, heart disease,
stroke, obesity, diabetes and birth defects - and help yourself
to a handful of California raisins.
