| Summary | "The Raisin Industry" by Gustav A. Eisen is a practical treatise on raisin grapes, their history, culture, and curing, written in the late 19th century. Focused particularly on California’s raisin industry, the work covers the evolution of raisin production, the various types of raisin grapes, and provides practical advice for cultivation and processing. This book is especially relevant for those interested in horticulture, agriculture, and culinary practices related to raisins. At the start of the treatise, the author establishes the significance and growth of the raisin industry in California, highlighting its economic potential and the limited existing literature on the subject. Eisen shares his intent to offer comprehensive insights for both new and experienced growers, including historical context and practical techniques for growing and curing raisins. The opening portion introduces various types of raisins and their characteristics, revealing the development and processes that distinguish California production from traditional methods in the Old World. This foundational context sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the industry throughout the text. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
