Green Seedless Grapes

Green seedless grapes grow on deciduous woody vines and are members of the genus Vitis. There are three primary varieties of green table grapes farmed today, including European (Vitis vinifera), North American (Vitis labrusca), and hybrids of the two. The origins of seedless grapes are unknown, however, they are thought to have been invented in antiquity. Green seedless grapes are mostly used as table grapes for fresh consumption and are grown through cuttings. The Thompson seedless grape, which was the first seedless variety to be commercialized and is still one of the most popular table grapes made in the United States today, is the most well-known variety.

Green seedless grapes range in size from small to larger and have a round to slightly oval form. Depending on the type, they can grow in tight or loose clusters. The skin might be brilliant green or yellow-green, and it is usually crisp, firm, and smooth. The flesh is seedless, pale green, and translucent, though some seedless types may contain a few immature seeds that are not noticeable when eaten. Green grapes without seeds have a gentle, sweet flavor with a touch of tartness.
