Grapes
Grapes are sweet, juicy fruits with thin skins that burst with flavor when bitten. Depending on the variety, they range from crisp and tart to intensely sweet and musky, with colors spanning green, red, purple, and black. While most commonly enjoyed fresh as a snack or in fruit salads, grapes can be roasted, frozen, turned into jam, or used to garnish both sweet and savory dishes.

Choosing
Select grapes that are plump, firm, and securely attached to green, flexible stems—avoid bunches with brown, brittle stems or shriveled fruit. The grapes should have a slight dusty bloom on their surface, which is a natural protective coating indicating freshness. Gently shake the bunch; if many grapes fall off, they're past their prime.
