As the Chinese proverb goes, "With time and patience the mulberry leaf becomes a silk gown." Patience is the only key to the success of California Raisins because a single California Raisin takes three whole years to grow. For all the hard work the staff at California Raisins put in, these raisins are divinely pristine and are nature's original candies. More importantly, they are no longer just snacks but key ingredients to scrumptious cuisines world over. California Raisins are boundary breakers in the culinary arena because their versatility makes them suitable for cuisines from all cultures - Asian or Western, traditional or fusion. As one of nature's most nutritious dried fruits, they add sweet zest and unmistakable goodness to any recipe.
