Selection tips

Here are some tips for choosing the best red grapes:

General Appearance: Grapes should look fresh and be firm to the touch. Avoid those that are wrinkled or soft.
Uniform color: Red grapes should have a deep, uniform red color. If you see grapes with pale or discolored areas, they may not be ripe or may be starting to deteriorate.
No spots or damage: Avoid grapes that have dark spots, cuts or signs of damage. These imperfections can be indicative that the grape is in poor condition or has been affected by pests or diseases.
Compact bunches: A bunch of grapes should be compact, with the grapes tightly grouped. If you see a lot of spaces between the grapes or a lot of loose grapes at the bottom of the bag or container, the bunch may have been overhandled or the grapes may be starting to deteriorate.
Green and flexible stems: The stems of grapes should be green and flexible, not dry or brown. This indicates freshness.
No mold: Make sure there are no signs of mold or fermentation on the bunch. If you smell a fermented or vinegary aroma, it is best to avoid those grapes.

Conservation

Properly preserving red grapes is essential to maintain their freshness and flavor. Here we leave you some tips for the conservation of red grapes:

Don't wash before storing: Washing grapes before storing can increase humidity and speed up the decomposition process. It is best to wash them just before consuming them.
Refrigerate grapes: Grapes are best kept in the refrigerator. Store grapes in the crisper drawer or a cool section of the refrigerator.
Use bags with perforations: If you are going to store grapes in bags, make sure they have perforations to allow air circulation and prevent moisture buildup.
Avoid prolonged storage: Although grapes keep well in the refrigerator, it is best to consume them within a week to enjoy maximum freshness.
Keep grapes away from foods with strong smells: Grapes can absorb odors, so it's best to keep them away from foods like onions or fish.
Check regularly: If you notice that some grapes are starting to deteriorate, remove them from the bunch to prevent them from affecting nearby healthy grapes.
Long-term preservation: If you want to preserve the grapes for a longer period, you can freeze them. Wash them, dry them completely, remove the grapes from the bunch and place them in a single layer on a freezer tray. Once frozen, transfer them to an airtight bag and store them in the freezer.
Avoid excessive humidity: Although grapes need some humidity to stay fresh, too much humidity can cause mold. Make sure the place where you store them is not too humid.
