<h2>RAISINS</h2>
Half of the world's supply of raisins are grown in California.
California discovered the commercial potential of raisins quite by accident. 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 is now the world's leading producer of raisins.
<b>Fresno, California is the Raisin Capital of the World.</b>
Raisin - comes from the Latin racemus and means "a cluster of grapes or berries".
