Looking at the grape stem
One of the experiences helping you choose fresh and delicious grapes is to look at the grape stem. If you see the stem is still green and not withered, it means that the grapes are freshly picked and you should choose this bunch because they will taste good. Freshly picked grapes have green and firm stems. When you look at the bunch of grapes, you will see that they are smooth and shiny. On the other hand, if you see the harvested grapes with a withered stem, and the grapes look wrinkled and no longer smooth, they will not be as tasty when you eat them.
Especially, when you see grapes with withered stems but fresh fruit or vice versa, it shows that the grapes have been soaked in chemical preservatives, so you should not choose them as they can cause food poisoning.
Tips for choosing non-chemical grapes
Looking at the color of the grapes
Each type of grapes usually has its own characteristic color, depending on each grape variety, such as purple grapes, green grapes, red grapes… That is why when choosing grapes, you should look at the color and shape of the grapes to make your choice much easier. If the grapes look rough and the skin is not smooth, but they taste very sweet, be careful as they may have been injected with chemicals, and their quality will be compromised.
In addition, you should also choose grapes with a fresh color and still have a bloom on the skin, indicating that they are freshly picked from the vine. Truly ripe grapes without chemicals, no matter how sweet they taste, they cannot be as sweet as sugar, they only have a refreshing sweet taste.

How to store grapes
When you come home from the market with grapes and want to keep them fresh and delicious, you should remove any spoiled fruits and wrap each bunch of grapes tightly in newspaper to prevent them from being crushed. Moreover, you should put them in a bag or a sealed box and store them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. With this method, grapes can be kept fresh for 1-2 weeks, and they will still taste as fresh as when they were freshly picked.
