After decades of crosses and tests, flavored grapes are starting to be sold at groceries and farmers markets. 🍭🍇

Some of the best of these haven’t made it into large-scale production yet but are among the dozen IFG flavored grape varieties thatIFG Thirty-four, nicknamed ”Scraggly," grapes are dark purple and intensely fruity in flavor.

The oddest-looking but most spectacular-tasting is IFG Thirty-four, which hasn’t been given a marketing label but is nicknamed “Scraggly” for its sparse bunches. Its dark purple berries have an incredibly intense, complex Concord flavor, with hints of eucalyptus, mint and cardamom — like a fine wine in fresh fruit.

Another of Cain’s favorites, available for now only from Murray, is Sweet Mayabelle, which is small, red and crunchy like Flame but packed with muscat flavor. Murray sells at 30 farmers markets, including Santa Monica, Hollywood, Torrance, Pasadena, Encino and Irvine, where consumers can find varieties by name and taste samples. Because Cain has come up with more varieties than chain stores can readily promote, their nomenclature for now is an inscrutable mix of numbered variety names, variety-linked trademarks and group brands for multiple varieties.

Currently flavored varieties account for less than 1% of the table grapes grown in California, which produces 99% of the commercial table grapes in the United States. But there was a time, before neutral seedless grapes swept all before them, that flavored grapes were important, and they still are in Europe. Who knows? The glory days may yet return.
