Does concord grapes have seeds

Answer 1

Drink The SeedsNo I personally do not EAT the seeds but I do DRINK them. My reasoning is that it is bad for the teeth to chew them because they are rock hard and grind up like sand in your mouth, and I do not swallow them whole because I don't believe that they are good fiber or break down in any way in the digestive system. I'm actually kindof afraid of the little buggers and chew very cautiously while strategically squeezing the seeds out of the grape and storing them in my upper lip above the gums while I enjoy the grape. (Too much information? maybe...) While eating the grapes provides and enjoyable snack (and tongue work out), I prefer juicing them in my juicer. I use the omega 8005 and it grinds up the entire grape and the seeds. Juicing your grapes this way is a good way to effectively consume a good amount of seeds while enjoying the benefits of digesting their nutrients. Fresh, cool, concord grapes are a treat for the body, but tend to leave the mouth purple, so I would refrain from eating a bunch before a professional meeting. The way to eat the seeds is to put them into a masticating juicer (my opinion).

Enjoy!

Funny how such a small fruit can invoke such a plethora of eating strategy. I grew up around concord grape vineyards, and have developed my own, and apparently unique method to eating these succulent little purple gems from heaven...

The folks I have shown it to actually enjoy them this way too. I place a grape in my mouth, roughly with the top, or vine attached end, toward the back of my mouth. I squeeze the grape with my tongue against the roof of my mouth, which pretty much ejects the grape-meat from the skin. I swallow the grape-meat in it's entirity. I don't even chew it. it lacks almost all the nutrients that this fruit has. The health is in the skin of the grape, which I then chew and suck on for a second before swallowing. The true flavor rests in the skin, as I'm sure you know. By not chewing the center of the grape, the seeds stay in their little jelly-like home. As they pass through the digestive system, you may absorb some of the water of the grape-meat, and any outer nutrients, but the seeds will pass easily through the digestive system this way, and you still get all the flavor and fun of the grape as well as the nutrients and a tongue workout. I would say, however, if you have an ulcer or other digestive issue, that Jeff's suggestion above would be put to better use for you.
