How to pick

Look for firm grapes with tight, crisp skin and bright, juicy-looking fruit.

How to store

How to use

Wash grapes and enjoy them straight off the bunch. They are a great addition to cheese platters and salads, or you can use them to make jams and sauces.

Fun facts
  • Grapes are one of the oldest edible plants to be cultivated, along with olives. Fossils indicate the consumption of grapes dates back as far as 5000BC.
  • Grapes don’t become sweeter once picked, so choose grapes that are ready to eat for best flavour.
  • Red and black grapes may have a silvery, dusty appearance. This is called bloom, and is a natural protective coating that keeps grapes fresh.
  • Grapes are a source of fibre, which helps support a healthy gut*.

    *When eaten as part of a healthy and balanced diet.
Food saver tips
  • To extend their life, separate grapes and store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
  • Instead of ice, use frozen grapes in drinks for a fruity surprise or pop them straight into the juicer for a refreshing juice.
