Concord grapes start to pop up at the farmers’ markets and grocery stores in the late summer and early fall months.
The taste of a concord grape is intensely sweet and floral, and the deep purple color provides vitamins and antioxidants.
Concord grapes typically have seeds. You can eat them or spit them out. Or, look for a variety called “Jupiter” as these do not have seeds.
Here are some fun ways to enjoy concord grapes:
- As is. Such a perfect sweet snack.
- With cheese and crackers.
- Plopped atop nut butter toast.
- Made into jam.
- Baked into a focaccia bread.
Recipe
For a refreshing (and low calorie, non-fat) ending to a meal, try this recipe for Concord Grape Sorbet. So many of us turn to ice cream on a hot summery or early fall day, but sorbet can also be a true delight when you have really flavorful in-season fruit.
