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.

1 cup of concord grapes = approx. 60 calories.

seeded grapes have seeds in them and seedless grapes don't have seeds in them.
You can eat Concord grapes, but they make better jams and wines.

Yes. the grapes are the seeds.
In grapes.
No, sultanas are seedless grapes. They are dried Thompson Seedless grapes, which means they do not have any seeds inside.
Concord grapes should be planted about 8 to 10 feet apart to ensure optimal growth and yield.
you suck the seeds out. with your mouth.
