Seedless grapes?

Question

I like to eat seedless grapes, but I wonder if these are full natural, or if they are manipulated...
(they are from Italy, Orchidea Frutta s.r.l.)

Answer 1

If you go to a grocery store today to buy grapes, there is a good chance that the only type of grape you can buy is seedless. Nearly all grapevines in production today produce seedless grapes.
It turns out that most fruits today do not come from seeds. They come from cuttings instead. This is true of grapes, blueberries, apples, cherries, etc. (pretty much all fruits except citrus, although scientists are working on that, too). A piece of a vine or branch is cut off, dipped in rooting hormone and then placed in moist dirt so that roots and leaves form. Because they come from cuttings, new grapevines are essentially clones of the vine they were cut from.

Seedless grapes actually do contain seeds at some point. But a genetic error prevents the seeds from forming hard outer coats like normal seeds do.

Answer 2

"Seedless grapes are a special bunch.

All plants -- including grapes -- grow from seeds. But some people prefer to munch on sweet, juicy grapes without biting on seeds too. So, grape breeders (those are people who develop different kinds of grapes) use their plant smarts to grow the seedless varieties.

Grape breeders create new seedless plants by placing the pollen of a seedless grape onto the flowers of a grape variety that has seeds. They then cut open and inspect the fruit of every single plant that grows from this match. The breeders are looking for seeds -- some plants will have seeds in their fruit and others won't.

When they find a plant that has no seeds, or maybe just has very tiny traces of seeds that you wouldn't be able to taste, the grape breeders use it to make more seedless plants. One way is to cut off small pieces of the seedless plant's vine and place it in special growing conditions in a greenhouse. Eventually, the pieces of vine will grow roots and become new, individual plants. This technique is called propagation.

Or, the breeders can graft, or attach, a piece of the seedless grape variety onto a healthy vine base, called a rootstock. Think of it like this: When someone cuts their hand, a doctor sews the cut together, and the two pieces heal as one. The grafted vines grow together the same way. And, the grape variety attached to the rootstock keeps producing delicious seedless grapes."

Answer 4

I personally dont like seedless grapes.

Answer 5

i used to think that grapes were automatically seedless when i was younger...but now I know how they really are..I sort of think that they aren't as "healthier" as seed grapes....it makes me wonder about seedless watermelons :)

No
