Grapes
Sweet, juicy fruit eaten fresh far more often than cooked. Recipes that just say 'grapes' usually mean whichever color is on hand, red or green.
Used for
- snacking
- salads
- cheese boards
- roasting
In the kitchen
- Rinse and pat dry.
- Halve for salads to keep them from rolling.
- Roast whole until they blister and burst.
Picking it at the store
- Give the bunch a gentle shake. Grapes that fall off easily are past peak freshness.
- Refrigerate unwashed; rinse only right before eating, since moisture speeds up mold.
