AdmiralAdama Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Has anyone seen these lovely, more flavorful and challenging grape varieties on sale in the DC region? This is the season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Wells Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I bought some Muscadine grapes for old-times sake from Hess Orchards at the farmers market at the Stone Springs hospital on 50 a few weeks ago. My family, who had never had them before, were completely turned off by the thick skins so I had the whole box to myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralAdama Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 the first time i tried them, i really thought they were a heretofore undiscovered form of fruit! i had no idea they were grapes. i have a report that muscadine grapes have been sighted at Food Star in Alexandria. This has not been confirmed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curls Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Last year Harris Teeter had muscadine. Haven't checked there this year. Thanks for the reminder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pras Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I have seen them at pretty much every Asian Supermarket in the area during the past couple of weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meatwad Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Mike Mushachio and family grow these. They vend at the Fall Church Farmers Market on Saturday and the Takoma Park Farmers Market on Sunday. Theirs are spectacular. If you're looking for big fruit flavor there are also paw paws / apple custards at markets. There's a fellow who reattached for USDA and new sells the best persimmons I've ever had. He's seasonal at the Takoma Park market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdmiralAdama Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Thank you so much meatwad! I will head to both these places this weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Dente Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Not exactly the same, but Whole Foods should have Concords. I'm a big fan of the grapey grapes too! F those table grapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
