This blue-black variety originated
in Australia. What do you get when you cross the Carolina
Blackrose grape with the Ruby Seedless? You get the Marroo
Seedless variety, with its medium-sized, firm, juicy berries.
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
Mellow, juicy flavor.
Uses
Drizzle with honey and enjoy with a spoon; top your cereal to give it
a healthy sweet taste; add frozen grapes as ice cubes to sangria or
fruit juice; or enjoy as a terrific, quick, fresh snack.
