Grapes add flavor

Grapes add flavor

Always the convenient go-to option for snack time, grapes also bring great taste, texture and added flair to your favorite dishes.

From the juicy burst of flavor to the vibrant array of beautiful reds, greens and blacks, fresh grapes are a top choice for home cooks and health-conscious eaters alike.

While shoppers often choose this tasty fruit for in-between meal snacking, grapes can also boost the “healthy” factor in recipes, while adding bright, beautiful color to salads, entrees and desserts.
