Black Beauties in Vacaville--Muscadines
Muscadines are a variety of grape that was discovered in North America in 1524. They range from bronze to dark purple to black in color when ripe. The pulp is viscous and sweet. The seeds are bitter (if you chew them). The seeds can be swallowed with the pulp or extracted and spit out. Most people like the extra sweet juice that lies underneath its skin. All varieties of muscadines and suppernongs in the world (including these) are related to the “mother vine,” discovered in North Carolina.
My grandmother had a muscadine arbor, and I remember eating them as a child. I thought, and still think, they taste like candy (although, the skin is very sour).
