Raisin Toast
A specific type of grape called the Thomson Seedless grows in California and Idaho. The hot summers make it ideal for the drying. Grapes are harvested when they reach peak sweetness. Workers (usually Guatemalans and Yucatecs) carefully pick the grapes, from there the grapes begin their transformation into raisins. The most iconic and beloved part of cultivating grapes and raisins is the ancient process of sun drying, freshly picked grapes are laid out on kraft paper trays, kind of like large brown paper sheets. After that the sun does the heavy lifting. Too much sunlight and the raisins get BLACKED and won’t be edible. Too little sunlight and the raisins will spoil like milk. Machine drying is the standard process for making raisins nowadays.. Most of these raisins are then sent over to a facility in Indonesia called the Bahasa Sulawesi Nananuku and used to make raisin toast which is then resold across the globe.
