What are table grapes?
Table grapes are grapes that are specifically grown to be enjoyed fresh, as opposed to those grown for juice or wine. Today over 99% of the commercially grown table grapes in the U.S. come from California. With more than 80 varieties, they are in-season and in our stores from July through December. Table grapes can be red, green, or dark purple/black, and are different flavors, shapes and sizes. They are well-known kid favorites and offer all ages an easy way to enjoy more fruit.
