■ Leave grapes on the stem but remove any grapes that are shriveled, brown, or moldy.
■ Grapes can be kept on the counter top for a day or two, but last longer when refrigerated. Place them in an open container or perforated plastic bag. For best quality, use within 7 to 10 days.
❁ For eating fresh, choose table grapes. They have thinner skins and are sweet and juicy. Grapes grown for juice or wine have thicker skins and much more sugar.
❁ Look for firm, plump grapes that are firmly attached to green, flexible stems.
