This week, in celebration of National Raisin Day on April 30, Tidbits is “raisin awareness” about those little dried fruits we all love! • Most folks know that raisins are dried grapes. Did you know that the French word for “grape” is “raisin”? The word has its origins in the Latin word “racemus,” which translates “a cluster of grapes or berries.” • Greece, Iran, and Turkey were the original producers of raisins. During the 11th century, Crusader knights returned home from their excursions to the Mediterranean, bringing raisins to Europe. • Grape growers probably didn’t set out to produce raisins. History tells us that growers in 1490 B.C. discovered fallen grapes that had dried in the sun, and loved the fruit’s sweetness. • High value was attached to grapes by the ancient Romans, who were known to trade a slave for two jars of the dried fruit. Their physicians prescribed raisins as a cure for food poisoning and to combat old age. Raisins were used as currency, and the Greeks and Romans also used them as awards in sporting events and as adornments in their places of worship. Turn the page for more!
