Concord Grapes
Estimated Inventory, lb : 0
Description/Taste
Varying in color from deep blue to purple to almost black, the large round Concord grape is encased in a thick skin. The flesh offers a medium-sweet flavor with a slight tart tang. Very seedy, the juicy pulp is distinctively musky. A powdery film characteristic of grapes is produced by cells in or near the surface that form a natural waterproofing and also prevents their skin from cracking.
Seasons/Availability
Concord grapes are available late summer through fall.
Current Facts
Concord grapes are a variety of Vitis vinifera that are most often used for juicing rather than whole eating due to their seedy pulp. Seedless varieties have been created by crossing the Concord with a Thompson seedless.
