SHOP TRAINA HOME GROWN Select Page 0 ITEMS Sparking a Healthy Trend Traina was busy setting a new flavor standard for California Sun Dried Fruit. We were particularly proud or our Sun Dried Tomatoes, showcasing the difference our natural slow-drying technique brought to the table. When we tried selling our Sun Dried Tomatoes to the restaurant industry in the late-1980s, the product was virtually unheard of. Going door to door to demonstrate the remarkable flavor of Traina Sun Dried Tomatoes directly to chefs, the new generation of Trainas sparked the sun dried tomato revolution; from unknown quantity to gourmet food staple. It was the start of a bigger trend toward better food and healthier eating. Meanwhile, another revolution was taking place at neighboring Silicon Valley. Embracing the spirit of innovation from our own Santa Clara roots, we enlisted the latest state-of-the-art technology to better ensure quality control throughout our vertically integrated process. Quality-First Mentality Employing nearly 400 people from our communities, we utilize advanced technologies and quality control measures to produce at scale and meet demand, but we adhere to “slower-is-better,” natural sun drying to bring out the rich flavor of our fruits.
