Well, it's grape season again - the eating kind, I don't know about the wine grapes. Do you feel good eating seedless grapes? I don't! There is something fundamentally wrong with them. Apart from the added enjoyment of spitting out seeds, a refined art form in itself, the taste and texture are missing. I haven't seen a grape seed in years!
It's like cow's milk. That has changed too! How do they get 2.5% vegetable fat into it? Isn't animal fat good enough anymore? What do the cows feel about this?
Almost everything has changed for the worse, and not just food. What do you miss most?
Thank God some of nature's best products are coming soon. I love the Autumn because of blackberries and loganberries - things that mankind has left alone to appear in their natural glory. Do you have an Autumn favorite?

I think I've always eaten seedless grapes. It probably started from when I was younger as a child and my parents and grandparents preferred seedless because they were scared of me choking. Now, I'm doing the same with my children. I'm deadly scared of seeds in their food since they are young. I did buy cherries with the pit inside and I found seeds all over my house! Well, there's another reason why seedless is preferred by most people.

I have to admit I am quite spoiled by the seedless grapes. They are so much easier to eat and I feel safer giving them to my kihds. I remember as a kid sitting there and splitting them opend and digging out the seeds before I ate them. Of course I did my fair share of spitting out grape seeds in my time. As for the last time I had grapes with seeds it was last year around this time. I got some purple grapes that had seeds in them. I had to sit and cut them and pull the seeds out of them so my little guy didn't choke on them. They were really tasty though.

I don't remember the last time I ate them with the seeds. To be honest it grosses me out to eat them with the seeds it has just got this incredibly weird taste that does something to my tongue. My mum says it's good for your health etc. but I don't care if I don't like the taste lol but I love seedless grapes as then I don't have to worry about that horrible taste in my mouth.

If I can remember correctly, Maybe 2 months ago. I love seedless grapes, i just had a bunch the other night and I didn't stop eating until my tummy hurts. :) I find it a hassle to eat grapes with seeds. I was told when I was a kid that if you swallow grape seed it will grow in your belly and you will become a walking grape vine. Since then I prefer the seedless ones. :) pretty stupid story huh. :)

hi personally I love seedless grapes and spitting out seeds seemed grosws to me, not to mention for people with diverticulitis anything with seeds is a no no as they can make us deathly ill. no I love the seedless grapes and here in C a we have fresh fruit all year around.How on earth 
did you find milk with vegetable fat in it, that sounds really gross and I have never seen that.also animal fat is not really all that great as most of it shoots up your cholesterol levels.

Actually, I had some today! I actually enjoy eating the grapes without seeds. I always bite on the seeds and have problems getting them out of my mouth, I sometimes end up accidentally spitting out half the grape. 
But that's probably just my problem... I really don't have a problem whatsoever with seedless grapes. Sometimes I'm not near a garbage can and then I have seed in my mouth which is really annoying. It's stuff like that that makes me love seedless grapes. ;)

Hi,
Grapes is my favourite fruits and all the while , I eat grapes together with
its seed. I am just lazy to spit out the seeds,so I will chew them and swallow together
with the grape flesh.
Only after knew my husband and I saw him spit out the grapes seed,then slowly
I will follow him to spit out the grape seeds too.
However, if my laziness start again,then I will still continue to swallow the
grapes with its seeds.

LOL petersum, Hello. The cows do not like their food mixed
with growth hormones. Animal fat produces high cholesterol in humans.
I ate seedless grapes this year too. Now that you mention it,
they really did not taste the same. I eat organic fruits and
vegetables now. Yes, I pay an arm and a leg not to
eat pesticides. How dreadful.
Everything healthy is expensive. Have you looked some
of the labels? Palm oil, Hydrated oils, all are killers.
.
Nonetheless, I try to eat healthy, but when I have a
taste for something, I eat it. But not the whole thing.
Our food has changed since I was a little girl.

Eating seed grapes is good than seedles grapes. Grapes is good to health. So we must take grapes in that season.

I have never eaten a grape with a seed in it. I absolutely love the seedless ones though. Have you ever had a Graple? It is a mix of an apple and a grape. It definately looks like an apple but has some grape flavor in it. I don't really eat berries all that much, not raw anyways. I haven't tried all of them and I probably should just pick some up at the store and try them.
