How people cook with it
Grapes are versatile and can be enjoyed in many ways, both raw and cooked.

- Add to fruit salads
- Pair with cheese
- Bake into desserts
To enjoy these grapes, simply rinse them under cool water before eating. They are perfect for a quick and healthy snack straight from the bunch. You can also de-stem them and add them to mixed green salads for a burst of sweetness and color.

They can also be incorporated into baked goods, like tarts or crumbles, where their natural sugars caramelize beautifully.

How to keep the rest
