Selection and Storage

Choosing the Best Grapes

Table grapes are hand-picked by growers to avoid bruising and to ensure you are getting the very best selection!

When buying grapes, the best thing to do is to go for firm, plump clusters that are securely attached to their stems and these should be green not brown. When you’re buying red or black varieties, it’s important to look for a silvery coating which is a natural bloom that protects the fruit’s freshness, not dust as some might think.

Table grapes develop natural sugars as they ripen on the vine, but they do not become any sweeter once picked. So always choose grapes that are ready to eat!

Storage

To keep grapes fresh it’s best to store them in an airtight container in the fridge. You can keep them for up to a few weeks this way. Also, if you eat them slightly chilled they’re slightly crispier, meaning the juice bursts out when you pop them in your mouth – yum!
