Raisins are dried grapes that have been eaten for thousands of years. Nearly

3,500 years ago, the first raisins were discovered as grapes that were drying

in the sun on a vine. In medieval Europe, raisins were used as sweeteners,

medicine, and even as a form of money! In America, raisins were first grown

after an 1873 heat wave in California destroyed its valuable grape crop,

leaving only dried, wrinkly, but tasty grapes on the vines. Soon, farmers

began developing seedless grapes in California that were thin-skinned and

sweet. These grapes would be purposely dried in the sun and became the

popular dark raisin we eat and enjoy today. Later, a golden variety of raisin

was made by treating grapes with a chemical called sulfur dioxide and using

special methods to dry them. Today, central California remains the center of

the world’s raisin industry, producing nearly 95 percent of the world’s raisins.

Its green valleys, sunny climate, and hot temperatures provide the perfect
