also, to reply to junglegirl's comments- there's a difference between GMO and hybrid produce. Farmers have been cross-breeding different types of produce to get new things for thousands of years, and there's nothing wrong with the process. A nectarine, for example is a hybrid between a plum and a peach. The GMOs that people have problems with are genetically modified organisms- produce whose DNA is tinkered with for specific purposes such as resistance to disease. The effects of this sort of modification are not known, but relatively few crops (such as corn, soybeans, etc.) are regularly genetically modified. Grapes, as far as I know, are not typically GMOs.
giant grapes are the best kind!
ReplyDeleteI was at a friend's house this week and she had huge grapes...I don't think I'd ever seen them that big and they were really good!
ReplyDeleteGreat Caesar's Grapes!
