Grapes are one of the most versatile fruits that humans have ever cultivated. Raisins are the most popular additions to bakeries’ bread and desserts. The two most common varieties of raisins are yellow and black. We sell both, but these bulk black raisins are plump and sweet. The black color comes from the natural dark purple color of the grape.
Grapes start as mostly water, with about 78%. After drying them into raisins, the water content reduces to about 15%. Making one pound of raisins requires about five pounds of grapes.
Raisins, or dried grapes, have been a part of human history for thousands of years. According to most accounts, raisins were discovered as far back as 2000 CE in Persia and Egypt. Initially, they were found accidentally when farmers checked in on their grape crops. They found the grapes dried and still clinging to grapevines, and they became our very loved black raisins today.
Our Black Raisins come from California. All raisins come from grapes. Grapes are as old as written history. The first Franciscan Friars in the New World are credited with bringing of grapes through Mexico and into the California territory.
