Ribier

The Ribier grape originated in France. The French word for Ribier is Gros Noir, which means "large black." This seeded variety has large, round berries with firm skins. 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
Mild, sweet flavor.

Uses
Deseed as needed. Blend with yogurt; include on your next party cheese plate; or enjoy as a terrific, quick, fresh snack.
