Some friends came over for pizza this weekend and they brought some fruit including these Cotton Candy grapes. And you know what? They TOTALLY taste like cotton candy. I had NEVER heard of these things before I ate a few and I was completely amazed. They're apparently ' taking the world by storm ' and with good reason they're a delight to eat. They proudly have a 'non-gmo' label on them, but aren't they actually modified food stuffs? They're grown by cross-cultivating two different grape varieties : They are made by plant breeding, meaning that farmers who cultivate these grapes cross different types of grapes together. David Cain, a horticulturist, and his team at the International Fruit Genetics in Bakersfield, California mixed two types of grapes — a Concord-like grape and seedless Vitis vineferia, which is a grape vine commonly found in the Mediterranean. Sounds modified to me? And that's just fine thank you.
