National Raisin Day is celebrated annually on April 30. Established in 1909 by the California raisin growers association, it's a day to appreciate this versatile dried fruit. Raisins have a long history. They've been enjoyed for centuries as a portable and healthy snack. They've even been featured in literature, such as A Raisin in the Sun, and pop culture.
On National Raisin Day, you may want to indulge in some raisin treats:
Bake a classic. Whip up a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies, raisin bread, or raisin bran muffins.
Get creative. Explore new recipes that feature raisins, like savory trail mix, flavorful rice dishes, or even gourmet salads. There are many options beyond cookies and cakes!
Enjoy a simple snack. Grab a handful of raisins straight from the bag for a quick and healthy pick-me-up.
Hoover Ingredients has great access to raisins grown right here in the California Central Valley, where our offices are located. We work with our growers throughout the year and take time in the summer to visit the raisin production plants and observe grape harvests. We can be your source for organic and conventional Thompson and Flame Raisins as well as Currants. How can we be of service?
