Muscadine Grapes – Buy Online in the UK
Muscadine grapes, the bold, sweet grapes of the American South, are now available fresh in the UK — a unique treat with rich flavour and natural goodness.
What are Muscadine Grapes?
Native to the southeastern United States, Muscadine grapes (Vitis rotundifolia) have been grown for centuries, cherished for their thick skins, intense sweetness, and deep, musky flavour.
Unlike regular table grapes, Muscadines grow in clusters of larger, round fruits with colours ranging from green-bronze to dark purple. Their flesh is juicy and aromatic, with a honeyed flavour balanced by a slight tartness.
Muscadines are not only eaten fresh — they’re also used in wines, jellies, and juices across the American South. Now, UK fruit lovers can enjoy this heritage grape in its freshest form.
