Summertime is grape time, and fresh grapes are always a tasty, healthy choice.
99% of the table grapes — the grapes we eat, not drink — that are grown in the United States are from California. They can be found in grocery stores all over the country between May and January, making California grapes North America's “local” grape. Always look for "California" or "USA" on the label to support American grape farmers and their communities.
