Sun-Maid Russin (Raisins)

Sun-Maid is one of the world's most recognizable dried fruit brands, best known for its iconic red packaging featuring the 'Sun-Maid Girl'. Founded in 1912 in Turlock, California, the brand began as a cooperative of raisin growers seeking to market their produce collectively. The brand's signature California Sun-Dried Raisins are famously grown in the Central Valley of California, where the warm climate provides ideal conditions for drying grapes naturally in the sun.

The packaging shown features the term 'Russin' (the Swedish and Danish word for raisins), indicating this specific product is packaged for the Scandinavian market. Despite its global distribution, Sun-Maid remains a cooperative owned by approximately 600 family farmers. This unique business structure ensures that the brand remains dedicated to its agricultural roots and domestic production standards while maintaining a massive international presence as a staple healthy snack in households worldwide.
