The Exotic variety was developed
in California, by crossing the Red Flame, Tokay and the
Ribier. These dark black seeded berries have a firm skin
and sweet taste. In the store, look for grape bunches that
are heavy and well colored with plump berries well attached
to the stems. The grapes you buy in the store should be
ripe and ready to eat; they will not continue to ripen
after they are picked from the vine. Simply refrigerate
your grapes without washing them. Grapes should keep for
about seven days in 30-40° F. Once you're ready to
enjoy your grapes, rinse with cool water.
Taste
Very sweet, crisp flavor.
Uses
Deseed as needed. Sprinkle with cinnamon and eat as a snack; drizzle
with honey and enjoy with a spoon; freeze and enjoy as grape-sicles;
or enjoy as a terrific, quick, fresh snack.
