• Black seeded grapes are medium to large in size and round to oval in shape. The jet-black to blue grapes have medium-thick skin with a slightly waxy finish. The translucent flesh is firm and contains 2-3 small, seeds which are almost undetectable. Black grapes grow on prolific vines in compact clusters that are conical in shape, and each vine can produce up to fifty bunches of grapes.

• Black grapes are crisp, juicy, and sweet with moderate acidity and are considered a neutral tasting grape.

• The ideal condition for grapes is 30-32 F with 90-95 percent relative humidity. Grapes generally have a much longer shelf life than other berries but they still need care to keep them at their best. Do not store grapes near a cooling unit's direct air path to avoid accelerated dehydration
