Table grapes, also known as American grapes, are a variety of grape. Because they are rich in fruit and sweet and store well, they are deeply loved by food lovers. They are sold on the market now, and the price is a little expensive, so what is the difference between table grapes and grapes? How should they be washed to get them clean?

1. Introduction to table grapes:

1. Are table grapes a cooling or warming fruit?

Table grapes are a neutral fruit, neither warming nor cooling, because table grapes are mild in nature and are not likely to cause internal heat after eating. Anyone can eat them, and eating them often can have the effect of tonifying qi and blood, promoting bowel movements, and strengthening the bones and tendons.

2. What kinds of table grapes are there?

Red table grapes and black table grapes.

2. What is the difference between table grapes and grapes?

Table grapes are a kind of grape, so there are certain differences from grapes. The specific differences are as follows:

Difference 1, different appearance: table grapes are long and oval in shape, with large fruit, relatively thick flesh, bright color, relatively thin skin, and good storage life; grapes are round in shape, with fruit slightly smaller than table grapes, deep in color, and not good for storage.

Difference 2, different taste: table grapes taste very sweet and contain abundant glucose and fructose, which are easily absorbed by the human body, and they are almost seedless inside; even if there are seeds, they can be eaten directly; grapes are juicy and soft in flesh, the outer skin is easy to peel off, and they contain many seeds inside, which can also be eaten if you do not mind.

Difference 3, different ways of eating: table grape skins are difficult to peel off, so they are generally eaten together with the skin after being washed clean; grape skins are relatively thick and taste a bit sour and astringent, so they can be peeled and eaten directly.

Difference 4, different prices: table grapes are imported grapes, so the price is a little expensive. They are generally divided into imported and domestic types. Among them, domestic table grapes cost 15 to 20 yuan per jin, imported table grapes cost more than 20 yuan per jin, and some can be as high as 40 to 50 yuan per jin; grapes are relatively cheaper, generally around 2.5 to 5 yuan per jin, affordable to the general public.

3. How should table grapes be washed to get them clean?

Now, whether table grapes or grapes, there will be more or less pesticide residue on the skin, so before eating, they must be washed clean before consumption. The specific washing methods are as follows:

Method 1, salt water washing: remove the stems from the table grapes, put the undamaged fruit into salt water and soak for 10 to 15 minutes, then slowly rub and wash the surface of the table grapes, rinse with water several times, and they can be eaten. Table grapes washed this way will taste a little salty, so few people use this method.

Method 2, flour washing: remove the stems from the table grapes, put the undamaged fruit into clean water, then pour in flour and stir fully and evenly, finally let stand for a few minutes and stir again, rinse with water several times, and they can be eaten. This method is relatively commonly used in daily life, not only quick but also fairly clean.

Method 3, toothpaste washing: put some water in a basin, then squeeze in some toothpaste and let it dissolve in the water, then remove the stems from the table grapes, put the undamaged fruit into the toothpaste water, rub and wash with both hands several times, finally rinse clean with clean water, then add some flour and turn and wash several times, and finally rinse clean with water. Of course, you can also directly rub and wash the table grapes with toothpaste, which is not only fast, but also makes the table grapes less likely to become soggy and rot.

With the three methods above, no matter which one is used, it is best to first put the table grapes on a towel and rinse them with water, so that the white bloom on the table grapes can be quickly washed off. In addition, when removing the stems, it is best not to pull them off directly with your hands, so as to avoid the fruit swelling and bursting from absorbing water during washing, which speeds up rotting.

Overall, although table grapes are a kind of grape, there are certain differences in appearance and taste, so be sure to pay attention when buying. In addition, freshly bought table grapes will more or less have pesticide residue, so they can be washed clean by several methods such as flour washing, salt water washing, and toothpaste washing. This is not only hygienic, but also means you do not have to worry about eating pesticides.
