I picked these up from Trader Joes. I always like to pick up a variety or hybrid of something new.

These are tiny grapes on a stem and seedless. They are dark purple and taste lie a cross between grapes and blueberries. DH actually thought they were blueberries.

I haven't seen these at the farmers market or the chains. The next time you are picking up Cookie Butter Ice Cream, give these a try!

I like trying new things too and those sound interesting. I have a concord grape vine that is growing along a porch railing. It's fun to sit on the porch and watch the grapes slowly ripen.

Amber, that is so nice that you grow them! I am impressed! Do you eat them off the vine or make jelly or anything?

The vine pretty much grows on it's own, I just prune it occasionally. It's very hardy. We eat the grapes, share some, and I make juice and sometimes jelly. Right now I'm sharing with a bluejay who is sampling grapes as the get a little on the ripe side. Do the Thomcord grapes have seeds? Oops, I see you said they are seedless.

My grapes are gone.

Our local farmers market had them last year....I LOVE them.

They taste like Concords, but they are seedless....my kind of grape!

You mean they ripen right before your eyes? Some guy on TV was talking about Supertunias, he said they grew an inch a day. More fun that watching paint dry.

depglass, yes they ripen before your eyes, but over the period of a few weeks! Those Supertunias sound really neat. HonnyBrown, I'm really going to have to make a trip to TJ's soon.

They are sweet, tiny, sweet and seedless. Did I say sweet?
