About grapes
Grapes are berries that grow in bunches or clusters on woody vines. People have been cultivating grapes for more than 8,000 years, and the first alcoholic beverage was wine made from grapes. The skin of grapes contains natural yeasts, so they easily start to ferment when they're crushed. People enjoyed wine in ancient Egypt, and Native Americans harvested grapes before they met Europeans.
Types of grapes
There are thousands of different types of grapes. Wine grapes are smaller than table grapes, and they have thicker skins and more seeds. Ephraim Wales Bull developed Concord grapes in 1849 on a small farm outside Concord, Massachusetts. Many types of grape juice come from Concord grapes. They're bluish-purple with purple juice, and they have a sweet, delicious flavor.
Crimson Seedless grapes are dark red, and they have a tart flavor and thick skin. Cotton Candy grapes are light green, and they taste a lot like cotton candy. Thompson seedless grapes, also called green grapes, are crunchy and sweet, and they're popular table grapes. Many types of wine are named for grape varieties, including Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Sauvignon. A currant is a dried Zante Black Corinth grape, and a sultana is a dried white or bleached red grape. They usually have a yellow color.
The common grape is native to the Mediterranean and Central Asia, and most grape varieties belong to this species. Muscadine grapes are a different species. They're larger than other grapes, and they have thick skin. They grow in the southeast United States, and they taste like plums. Fox grapes grow in the same region, and they're often used for wine. Riverbank grapes or frost grapes are native to the United States, as well. They're bluish-black and resistant to cold weather.
How to tell when grapes are ripe
When grapes are ripe, the stems and seeds are brown. Seedless grape varieties are available, and all grapes should be plump and easy to pull away from the stems when ripe. Grapes should taste sweet, and they shouldn't have mold or dark spots. Grape juice is pasteurized to prevent fermentation, and it can keep for months or years.
You can keep grape jelly and jam for a long time, as well. Grape leaves should be large and green with no damage from insects. The leaves are edible, and many people eat them in salads. Stuffed grape leaves are a tasty Mediterranean dish. The leaves are wrapped around a meat and rice mixture, seasoned with spices, and cooked in a delicious sauce.
