This large, firm, thin-skinned
variety has oval berries that are shades of dark purple,
blue and black. 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

Uses

salad to give it a sweet crunch; sprinkle with cinnamon and eat as
a snack; or enjoy as a terrific, quick, fresh snack.
