What season is the "king of grapes," the grape, a fruit of? When does it ripen and hit the market? How much does it generally cost per jin? What is the difference between it and regular grapes?

The grape, also known as the American grape, is a variety of grape, and it is deeply loved by people for its plentiful flesh, large berries, and rich nutritional value. Currently, its market price is a little on the expensive side, so what season is the grape a fruit of? When does it ripen and hit the market? How much does it generally cost per jin? What is the difference between it and regular grapes?

1. What season is it a fruit of?

The grape is a fruit of late summer and early autumn. In nature, because of differences in growing regions and varieties, grapes do not ripen at the same time, and they are generally divided into 3 types: early-ripening, mid-to-late-ripening, and late-ripening. In southern China they ripen in June to July, while in higher places such as Xinjiang they ripen in August to September. Broadly speaking, grapes ripen from July to October, and grapes in other seasons are mostly grown in greenhouses.

2. Ripening time:

From early summer to early autumn, this is the period when grapes are on the market, and the best time to eat them is in August and September, when they are at their sweetest.

The grape is also called “American grape” and “American grape”; it is a type of grape variety. For its advantages of crisp berries, large size, pleasant sweet-and-sour taste, excellent storability and transportability, and good quality, it is called the “king of grapes.”

4. Differences from regular grapes:

Grapes and the grape are essentially both the fruit of the grape. It is only in the course of commercial distribution that markets in places such as Hong Kong, China and Shanghai usually call the Eurasian grape varieties with large berries, thick skin, little juice, high quality, skin and flesh difficult to separate, and good storability and transportability "grapes," while calling the fruit with large berries, soft texture, lots of juice, and easy-to-peel skin "putao."

1. Variety: the grape is imported from the United States, while putao is produced in China.

2. Shape: the grape is long, while putao is round.

3. Skin: when you pinch putao with your hand, the skin and flesh separate easily, while the grape's skin is relatively thin, and the skin and flesh are very hard to separate. The skin of putao has to be spit out, and it is not very tasty, while the grape's skin does not need to be spit out, because it is attached to the flesh.

4. Flesh: the grape's flesh is firm and can be cut, while putao's flesh is soft and juicy and is generally not sliced.

5. Nutrition: largely the same, though much putao is sour, while the grape is mostly sweet, and the grape has a higher sugar content.

6. Taste: much putao is sour, while the grape is mostly sweet, and the grape tastes good.

7. Price: the grape is more expensive than ordinary putao

Why is it more expensive than putao?

1. The grape belongs to a relatively high-quality grape variety, and its planting and grafting techniques are more advanced, so the planting cost is higher than that of ordinary varieties.

2. The high cost of transport means the price of grapes is sometimes double the price of putao.
