Talk:Concord grape

message: There are several photos of green grapes; are those Concord grapes?  I thought Concord grapes were always blue, like that one picture.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.105.8 (talk) 02:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: They are green when they are unripe. Is the photo caption not clear enough?: "Ripe grapes (foreground) and unripe grapes (background)." Unripe grapes can be made into verjuice." Should we say ripe purple grapes and unripe green grapes? Rmhermen (talk) 04:24, 1 April 2011 (UTC)

message: "In the United States, more than 400,000 tons of grapes are harvested in the northern regions and Pacific Northwest. Washington produces the most, followed by New York. This is about 8% of the total U.S. grape harvest" - is that supposed to say "400,000 tons of Concord grapes"?  Otherwise, the "8% of the total" sentence doesn't make sense.

message: Is it known why the Concord grape is (traditionally) preferred in juice and jelly/jam uses (and Kosher wine use, for that matter) over some of the other standard wine grapes? -- 19:25, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone have reliable answers to post to the article or talk page on these two questions which every Concord grape "user" undoubtedly asks hirself or hemself ?  If so, please contrib.  I need the skinny on the seedy question!  (There's also the swallow whole vs. chewing issue.)  Parsiferon 02:22, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The skins are very safe, unless moldy.  Depending on the fungus, it could be toxic.  Ice wines or late season white whines depend on shriveled up and moldy grapes!  As for the seeds, a number of fruit seeds have various cytotoxic compounds (evolved as a defense mechanism to prevent rot) that won't hurt you in low doses.  But if you ate a lot of seeds, you might experience a cytotoxic effect on your intestinal tract that might be fairly unpleasant.  It would take a lot of seeds (killograms maybe, but not sure) to be injurious.  I would limit the amount of seeds consumed, unless it's a cultivated seed like almonds or such.OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 15:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Concord grape seeds are not only highly nutritious but contain very high levels of antioxidants such as proanthocyanidin and reservatrol.Relish them and eat as many as you can! As for the skins, why they're the tastiest and most nutrient-dense part! 67.142.172.31 (talk) 04:20, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

message: It would be useful to have some information about the allegedly much higher antixodant/phenol content of Concord grapes, supposedly as high as red wine. Has any research been done to substantiate Welch's claims about this? Is it possible to get comparison figures, esp. with 'normal' red grapes?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.130.74.8 (talk) 16:38, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Concord grapes are now frequently available in farmers markets and standard supermarkets, at least in the NE US states.
This is also true in the upper Midwest. For several weeks each autumn, Chicago-area supermarkets regularly carry Speich Farms' concord grapes. 38.115.185.13 (talk) 18:47, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
