April 30th, 2025 is National Raisin Day

National Raisin Day

Prunes sell better when the package calls them "dried plums." Raisins are dried grapes, of course, but no artful dodging of their given name is necessary. People appreciate raisins because they're a great natural snack with a long shelf life. They're an important ingredient in many types of recipes, too. Three thousand recipes on CDKitchen alone! You could spend your entire National Raisin Day browsing recipes for your favorite raisin bread, dessert, or even savory entree items!
