About CDFC
The California Dried Fruit Coalition (CDFC) was formed as a cooperative effort by the California date, fig, prune and raisin industries to promote the nutritional value and versatility of uses for these traditional dried fruits to policy makers influencing food purchase decisions for America’s schools and foodservice agencies.
California accounts for nearly all of the national production of California dates, figs, prunes and raisins. The following counties, including Riverside, Imperial, Fresno, Sutter, Madera, Merced, Los Angeles, Tulare, Kern, Kings, Butte, Yuba, Tehama and Glenn, are the leading production areas.
California Date Commission
Dates have no added sugars and are a naturally low moisture fruit. They are a good source of fiber, have 6 essential vitamins, 7 minerals, and are heart healthy.
California Fig Advisory Board
California produces 100% of the dried figs sold commercially in the U.S. Figs have no added sugar, are fat, sodium and cholesterol free, high in calcium content, a good source of dietary fiber, plus offer many additional nutrition benefits
California Prune Board
California Prune growers take care to produce only the biggest, sweetest plums. They have no sugar added, provide soluble and insoluble fiber, are a polyphenol powerhouse (antioxidants), and help support bone health.
California Raisin Administrative Committee
California Raisin growers produce 100% of the U.S. raisins in an area within a 60 mile radius of Fresno, California. California Raisins have no added sugar, are fat and cholesterol free, are naturally low in sodium, and are a source of concentrated nutrients.
