Published in Daily Trivia
In the eleventh century, crusader knights first introduced raisins to Europe when they returned home from the Mediterranean. By the fourteenth century, raisins became an important part of European cuisine. Raisin prices skyrocketed. The English, French, and Germans attempted to grow grapes for raisins, but their climates were too cold for drying the fruit.
