We offer excellent prices

Traina understands what it’s like to own and operate a restaurant. We’ve owned an operated one for more than 35 years! We understand about staying competitive and being vigilant about food costs. That’s why we will always sell our sun-dried fruit and tomatoes at the best possible price. That’s our guarantee… from one restaurateur to another.

Growing and processing standards

In the beautiful Central Valley of California, Traina grows and sun dries top-quality tomatoes and fruits. While still in the ground, the plants and trees are tended with respect for the environment and with growing wholesome products (rewrite that sentence, doesn't make sense). From the fields, products are thoroughly tested, washed and processed following all government standards for safety. Our facilities are secure, hygienic and state-of-the-art.

Dependable California quality

We never cut corners on quality, cleanliness, product integrity or environmental stewardship. At Traina Foods, our first responsibility is to our customer. And we guarantee every case of California sun-dried tomatoes or sun dried fruit is produced under strict State and Federal food safety guidelines, and in compliance with our own high industry standards.

Your single source for every dried fruit need

What began in the Traina family orchards of San Jose California circa 1926 has grown to become a resource for hundreds of dried, sun-dried, imported and sweetened dried fruit products. As consumer interest in a wide variety of sun-dried products has grown, we expanded our product line, developing strong relationships with quality producers of sweetened and imported fruit worldwide. Today, Traina Foods is known as a single source for every conceivable dried fruit product.

Our products are slowly sun-dried for maximum flavor

The Traina sun-drying process begins with the plumpest, vine-ripened tomatoes we grow and the sweetest, juiciest fruits from the orchards. Combining state-of-the-art food technology and the Traina teams years of experience results in products with superior taste and perfect appeal. The process takes between 5 – 7 warm sunny days before the fruits are truly, perfectly sun-dried - sweet, moist, slowly sun-cooked fruit and tomatoes.
