Raisins, that crystal clear, sweet and sour taste of the small fruit, is one of the common dried fruits that people love. It can not only be eaten directly as a convenient snack, but also play a unique role in the preparation of many delicacies, adding a different flavor to dishes and desserts.
The origin of raisins
Raisins have a long history, dating back to the ancient Middle East. As early as about 1000 BC, people at that time had begun to use the sun to dry grapes to make raisins. The climate in the Middle East is hot, dry and sunny, providing excellent conditions for the natural drying of grapes.
With the passage of time and the development of trade, the method of making raisins gradually spread to all parts of the world. In ancient Greece and Rome, raisins became one of the favorite foods of the aristocracy. In medieval Europe, raisins were frequently used in religious ceremonies and aristocratic banquets.
Today, the main production areas of raisins are distributed in sunny areas around the world where the climate is suitable for grape growth, such as California, Turkey, Iran, Xinjiang and other places in China. These places, with their superior natural conditions, produce a large number of high-quality raisins to meet the needs of the global market.
