Grapes
  • Plump, round berries: Full, round grapes are ripe. Shrivelled or soft grapes are declining.
  • Green stems: Fresh green flexible stems mean the bunch was recently harvested. Dry, brown stems indicate age.
  • Tight attachment: Gently shake the bunch — in fresh grapes, the berries should stay firmly attached. Loose berries mean the bunch is old.
  • White bloom: A light dusty bloom on dark grapes is natural and indicates freshness.
  • Colour depth: Darker coloured grapes are generally sweeter — deep purple and red varieties are richest in flavour.

How to Store Grapes

Do not wash grapes until eating — moisture promotes mould. Store unwashed in the fridge in their original bag or a ventilated container. Properly stored, grapes keep for 1–2 weeks in the fridge. Grapes can be frozen whole for up to 3 months — frozen grapes make an excellent snack on hot days.

Grape Nutrition

One cup of grapes (151g): 104 calories, 27g carbs, 1.4g fibre, vitamins C and K, potassium and resveratrol. Resveratrol in dark grapes is a powerful antioxidant associated with cardiovascular and anti-cancer benefits.
