Purple raisins 1000g - VIVIO

Raisins - what kind of fruit is that? These are nothing but dried grapes. They are formed by the evaporation of water from the fruit, causing them to become smaller and their skin wrinkled. The traditional way to dry them is to spread the grapes out in the sun. The process takes 2 to 4 weeks. Today, mechanical drying is often used to prevent contaminants and insects from getting into the fruit. The word "raisins" was already known in the 14th century. At that time these dried fruits were called rozenki. The great cultural importance of these dried fruits and nuts is perhaps testified to by the dried grapes' own name, which has been adopted in our country. In the Middle Ages, they were among the most popular sweeteners, taking pride of place alongside honey. In ancient Rome they were so valuable that two jugs could even buy a slave. The largest cultivation of grapevines for the production of raisins is in the United States. In 1983, California farmers found a way to minimize losses associated with the massive drought that ravaged the grape crop. In full sun, the fruits were already drying up on the bushes. And so California has become a world giant in the production of this delicacy.

Raisins at the bottom of the cheesecake are every housewife's bane. What to do so that delicacies do not fall to the bottom of sweet pastries, and it looks more aesthetically pleasing?
