These colorful bite-size fruits are bursting with sweet, juicy flavor. And Hy-Vee has a great selection right now.
The freshest grapes are firm, plump, attached to stems and still have skins intact. Green grapes should have an even, slightly yellow tone. Red and black grapes are at their best with deep color and no sign of green.
Cultivated since the dawn of civilization, grapes are a beloved treat that also happen to be nutritious. Grapes average just 62 calories per cup and can be eaten out of hand or added to dishes such as chicken salad or fruit salad. Red grapes are considered sweeter, green slightly more sour and black grapes have a more intense fruity flavor. Grapes are a source of vitamin C to boost the immune system and vitamin K to aid blood clotting and bone health. Red grapes contain resveratrol, an antioxidant thought to reduce inflammation and benefit heart and brain health.
BUY
Keep unwashed grapes in a plastic bag in the refrigerator up to two weeks. Rinsing introduces excess moisture, which can speed up decay.
STORE
Before eating, place grapes in a colander, rinse with cold water, then set grapes on paper towels to drain. Use a sharp paring knife when halving grapes for a recipe.
