More about white grapes
Popular and versatile
White grapes are widely consumed for their mild sweetness, firm bite and visual appeal. They're used in fresh snacking, fruit mixes, and as a staple item in retail programs.
Seedless varieties dominate
The global market strongly favors seedless white grape varieties such as Thompson Seedless, Sugraone and Autumn Crisp. These varieties are known for their sweetness, crunch and excellent post-harvest life.
Global sourcing regions
White grapes are grown in many regions including Egypt, India, South Africa, Chile and Spain. The spread across hemispheres allows for almost year-round availability, depending on climate conditions and harvest planning.
Packaging formats
Common packaging formats include punnets, clamshells, flow-packs and loose cartons. Retailers choose based on customer preference, shelf space and supply chain considerations.
Post-harvest handling
Proper cold storage, sulfur dioxide treatments and moisture control are essential to maintain the quality of white grapes. Temperature fluctuations during transport can lead to browning or premature softening.
