Buy, Store & Prepare

Buying and Storing

Quality table grapes should be plump, smooth and have even full colouring. They should be firmly attached to the stem, which should be flexible, not brittle, and have light green or straw colouring.

They will keep for a week in a refrigerator at 32°F to 35°F (0°C to 2°C), loosely wrapped or in ventilated plastic in a single layer.


Preparing

Wash just before serving (if done earlier, the fruit will deteriorate).

Eat them just as they are, or as part of a fruit-and-cheese plate. Cooked, grapes may be served in a variety of desserts, as juice or jelly fruit.
