	California Raisins by Simonian Farms
		Fresno, California is the raisin capital of the world, and home to Simonian Farms.
		When a hot spell in 1873 caused grapes to wither on the vine, one California grocer decided to capitalize on the apparent misfortune of grape growers and offered the dried fruit as a "Peruvian Delicacy." The rest is history.
		Much of the credit for producing such wonderful raisins in the central valley of California is due to Armenian immigrants who came to America in the late 1800's.
