Dear Vegetable Husband Customer,
You will notice that you have a container of southern grapes in your basket today are coming from Love is Love Farm. The green fruit is the scuppernongs and the dark ones are muscadines. They are great to just eat but many people are bothered by the cluster of seeds inside the meat of each grape (my mouth is watering just typing this! Lol). Some people eat the skin, some just chew eat and then discard. If you have ANY questions about this Read the rest of this entry »
