(Food-Beverage-News.Com, April 23, 2015 ) Taylor, MI -- National Raisin Day is celebrated each year on April 30. People have been dehydrating grapes to make raisins for thousands of years. The practice dates back to 2000 B.C. and originated in Egypt. Raisins were also highly prized by the Ancient Romans, who used this delicious snack food to barter. They also awarded raisins as prizes at sporting events.
In 1873, a freak hot spell withered the grapes on the vine. One enterprising San Francisco grocer advertised these shriveled grapes as "Peruvian Delicacies" and the rest is history. California produces the majority of the world's raisin supply and Fresno is the Raisin Capital of the World.
To celebrate National Raisin Day, snack on a box of raisins, bake a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies or add raisins to a favorite muffin or bread. For example Slick Cups™ includes an easy recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Bread with the purchase of its Silicone Bread Pan.
