What the AI looks for in Fresh Grapes
- No ripening after harvest
- Grapes do not sweeten after picking, so taste at arrival is final. You cannot fix sour grapes on the counter.
- Stem condition
- Stems should be green and flexible, not brown and brittle. Stem condition is the best indicator of time since harvest.
- Bloom
- A powdery white bloom on the skin is natural and indicates careful handling. It is not residue and helps protect the fruit.
- Attachment
- Berries should cling firmly to the stems when the bunch is lifted. Loose, shattering berries are past their prime.
Brands that matter
- Grapery: California grower of specialty flavor grapes such as Cotton Candy.
- Sun World: Breeder of proprietary table grape varieties such as Autumn Crisp.
What to avoid
- Bunches with wet, sticky or moldy grapes near the stem
- Washing before storage
Questions
Are Cotton Candy grapes genetically modified?
