How do you pick grapes?
Go for plump, fresh-looking grapes that are firmly attached to their stems. Although table grapes generally include larger varieties, size is not a measure of taste.
How do you prepare grapes?
Thoroughly wash grapes before serving or eating. Grapes make a great snack when eaten raw or tossed into fruit salads. They are also delicious frozen, especially for dessert. Try using whole grapes instead of sugary jelly on peanut butter sandwiches, or roast them with Brussels sprouts as a side dish.
How do you store grapes?
Table grapes do not ripen after harvest and must be handled with care. But under the right conditions, they can be stored for up to a month. Some Dole Grapes are transported at a temperature of around -1°C in 95% humidity, arriving fresh and juicy in the shops. You can keep grapes at home for 4 or 5 days at room temperature and longer in the refrigerator.
