The Red Flame Seedless is
a relatively new variety, developed by crossing the Thompson
Seedless, Cardinal Red grape and many other varieties.
This medium-sized, dark red berry is the second most popular
variety in the U.S., following its cousin, the Thompson
Seedless. In the store, look for grape bunches that are
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
Sweet, crisp, excellent flavor.
Uses
Add to chicken salad to give it a sweet crunch; on fruit kabobs with
low-fat vanilla yogurt dip; add frozen grapes as ice cubes to sangria
or fruit juice; or enjoy as a terrific, quick, fresh snack.
