Market Look-For’s

• Bright, tight skin, ideally still some dusting
• Firm connection between stem and fruit. If this connection is loose it often means the grapes have been picked for a while.

Storage

• Store on your counter and eat quickly
• If you must refrigerate, bring to room temperature before eating

Notes

• While the seeds can be annoying to chew around, they are not tough enough to crack a tooth the way a cherry pit can do.
• To wash, I find it easiest and most effective to fill a sink with water and plunge the grapes into the water. By leaving the fruit attached to the stem, there is less juice lost in the washing water.
