Find of the Year: Cotton Candy Grapes!

8/28/2014

Yes , Cotton Candy grapes!
I just tried these Cotton Candy variety green grapes I found at Lowes' Foods last night! They are also at Kroger. THEY ARE SO AMAZING. THEY TASTE AND SMELL JUST LIKE COTTON CANDY!!! My kids and I loved them.The best thing is that they are NOT genetically modified. There are literally thousands of natural varieties of grapes God has created. Just because you have not heard of a particular variety does not mean it is evil or that it was not created using natural centuries old farming techniques. Check out the FAQ list from the company Grapery below
http://www.grapery.biz/index.php/faq
I guarantee if you or your kids like cotton candy, you will truly enjoy these Cotton Candy grapes. Just remember that all grapes have a high glycemic index. This means if you are diabetic, consume a reasonable portion to keep your blood sugar in control. If you enjoy them in a group, everyone will gobble them up so fast you won't have time to overeat these guilt-free delicious fruit.
Enjoy and share.
