Apparently, Washington State grows the largest number of Concord grapes in the country, followed by New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Missouri1.

If that's the case, then how come I ain't never seen 'em in a grocery store until last week? I wasn't even sure they were a real type of grape, since the only thing I ever see the name associated with are artificially flavored grape things.





1 from here.

Probably 'cause they're mostly used for juice and jam - they don't really taste very good straight off the vine. I'd rather nibble Pam Grier...

Sure enough: further reading on that website shows that they don't keep well enough for stores, and yeah, they're mostly grown for other uses.

I actually like the way they taste. Maybe it's just the novelty of having them.

Yeah. Now about Pam Grier...

I woulda guessed that New England would be the hot spot for them, based solely on the name.

I've had them from a friend's garden before here in Washington. They taste like purple.

They do taste like purple!

(Just add hallucinogens.)

Me mum has a Concord vine and we always made jelly or juice. Straight off the vine you need to remove the skin or the are very tart and that is where most of the good for you stuff is.
