I try to get to non processed foods every now and again. But grapes seem to be one thing that I review most unless they are a run-of-the-mill seedless variety.
Trader Joe's seasonal grapes
I like trying different varieties because they are so different. I get completely excited when I see Cotton Candy Grapes once or twice a year. I even like the teeny tiny Champagne Grapes that they sell.
But there is a variety that I've overlooked. Somehow, these have escaped my view.
Tasting these
If you've ever had Welch's Grape Juice, then you know the flavor profile that those grapes have. Or at least the Concord Grape Juice that I am referring to. Perhaps you are familiar with the deeply-hued purple grape jelly.
In either case, I've tried Concord Grapes. I adored the flavor. And I loathed the seed. I understand why it is there. But for me, those big huge seeds tend to make me not eat a certain fruit.
Here, the seeds run from something that doesn't stand out to something that you might want to remove from your mouth. But nowhere near the Concord grape.
Overall
For $2.99 for a one-pound, these are worth a try. They do seem to be seasonal, so if you are curious they are worth a try if they are in season.
Would I buy this again? Yes, I would buy Trader Joe's Thomcord Seedless Grapes again.

Pros
- Trader Joe's Thomcord Seedless Grapes are really tasty and nearly seedless grapes.

I love Thomcord grapes! They are my favorite variety, as the best of both worlds of full flavor and no seeds

Hey Tim! I hope you've had a great summer. I really liked them too and I couldn't agree more with what you said here. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by!

I have never tried any of Trader Joe's grape varietals. Not the hugest fan of grapes in general unless they're crushed and poured into a wine glass. Although I do recall a fondness for concord grape juice as a child so maybe I'll try these. Most grape varietals I've tasted are either just too sugary (cotton candy) or boring (red or white table grapes). One fun grape varietal I tried last year were witches fingers grapes!

Hey Dag! I've never heard of witches fingers. Now you have me totally curious. Did TJs sell them or did you buy them elsewhere? What did those taste like? Thanks so much for stopping by!
Dag says
They are a super grapey sweet grape that looks like knarly bent/crooked dark blackish purple pinky fingers......lol. Definitely worth a try!

Wow! Now I see why they are called Witch Finger Grapes. I'll have to keep an eye out for them. I've honestly never seen them before. Thanks so much for the heads up.

I really loved the flavor of these but was disappointed that they lacked that “crunch” snappy texture to the skin, even after I refrigerated them overnight. Not sure if this variety just has a softer skin, or that was just the box i got....?
becomebetty says
These aren't quite as snappy as regular grapes. That I guess is part of the hybrid of these grapes that hasn't been worked out yet. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and share!
