These grapes taste like cotton candy because science
If you’re the type of person whose sweet tooth starts acting up just as you think you’ve figured out that whole eating-healthy thing, then worry no more: International Fruit Genetics is here to save the day. With a new breed of grape that tastes exactly like cotton candy without the whole consuming-straight-sugar aspect, you can finally satisfy your cravings without having to sacrifice your cheat day. The best part? They’re really just 100% grapes.
Bred by IFG and farmed by Grapery in Bakersfield, California, these companies follow natural and sustainable practices without resorting to any genetic splicing or flavor additives. Jim Beagle, CEO of Grapery, told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “We were just trying to develop grapes with great taste, and we got lucky that one actually tasted like cotton candy.”
