Grapes
Types, Selection and Storage
Small, soft fleshed fruit enjoyed by all. Grows in bunches on the vine making for a decorative addition to a cheese platter or fruit bowl. The white powdery covering sometimes found on grapes (particularly red or black grapes) is natural and called a ‘bloom’.

Store in a plastic bag in the crisper section of the refrigerator.
