  • Muscadine grapes are native to the United States and grow well in the South's hot and humid climate. I'm having my first taste of them and then using them to make homemade grape jelly. 😁

      There is a pie that is made from the muscadine skins. They get tender as it bakes, and it is delicious. All you have to do to separate the skin from the grape is pinch the ripe grape at the end that is smooth. The grape pops out from the stem end.

    The "Fruity Fruits" series has been one of my absolute most favorites! I love all of Emmy's videos, but I have truly learned so much & been so inspired to try things that I may have been either afraid to try or simply thought were unappealing. After hearing Emmy explain the taste & textures, how they're grown & where, as well as what & what not to do while eating certain fruits, I have gone out & tried several. I can truly say I have not been disappointed yet! Her explanations & descriptions are truly delightful, as well as accompanied by her lovely personality. Watching any Emmy video is always a pleasure, but I do L♡VE Fruity Fruits & all the knowledge I have obtained this far! So, Thank you for that Emmy & keep the fruits coming & I will gladly keep eating them! 😊💜

    Muscadine and scuppernong grapes are everywhere in North Carolina. You can go to vineyards and pick your own like strawberries. They give me very fond memories of Autumn. When I was a kid my Grandfather owned several large grape vines across the road from me and we could just go over there and feast. They smell so good. They are best when they are super ripe, like right before getting rotten when they have a super sweet and juicy taste and almost like a slight wine fermentation. Speaking, of Muscadine and scuppernong wine is wonderful and my favorite wine of all time.
    How I ate them was biting the end and the pulp center pops out of the hole (at the end where the stem was). Some people don't eat the peel, but I do. You then eat the pulp, separating the seeds from it with your mouth and teeth and spit them out as you go.

    • @jkaygoulet
      @jkaygoulet 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have never been lucky enough to try them. I am in Indiana, so I am guessing that I am a bit too far north & haven't been lucky enough to cross their path yet. I am a grape fanatic though, any & all kinds... So, I have no doubt I would absolutely adore them. I did read however that the skin is crazy full of antioxidants! So, you are definitely doing it right by eating them. I read the seeds were quite nutritious as well, but it appears that everyone in this thread says they spit them out. I was hoping you could fill me in, do they just taste bad? Or are they just too big to swallow? Or is it just general practice to spit them out? Just quite curious & intrigued. I'm ready to travel south just to go hunt some down because they sound so delicious!! 😍🤣

    I grew up picking these in my grandmas yard and eating them in autumn. I always stick the whole thing in my mouth then gently bite down so the inside squishes out, then spit out the peel and the seeds altogether. Muscadines and scuppernongs are quite possibly my favorite fruit of all time. They’re sour and sweet and juicy and just….heaven on earth. I’ve been desperate to grow my own plant since I bought my own home. Hoping this is the year!
    Edited to add: I found your channel in the middle of grocery shopping after craving some fruit, opening my delivery app to see and not know what pipino melon was. And now I’m hooked on fruity fruits.

    Growing up in NC as a kid these grew wild in many places. I would pinch the opposite side that comes off the vine and the inside just pops right out!

    I love 💖 those dissolvable labels!! I get large (cheep) rolls of them on amazon. They feel just like ordinary paper labels, but disappear in water! I keep finding new uses for them, from labeling leftovers to plastic storage bins, anywhere you want a temporary label.

    I grew up on muscadine jelly made by my grandmother - they grew wild on her land out in the country of Deep East Texas. My parents make muscadine wine - have some aged 3 years right now - it's my very favorite homemade wine.

    We had these wild growing on my parents property in south Louisiana. Along with blueberries, huckleberries, dewberries, and beauty berries. We had the best jam. And the best wine!

    I recently tried a muscadine grape for the first time and really enjoyed it. It reminded me of wine grapes from my grandmother’s backyard. Those wine grapes were delicious. I don’t typically enjoy grapes, but this is an exception.

    I'm from Alabama, and we had wild muscadines and scuppernongs. I love both. My grandfather had cultivated scuppernong vines in the back yard, and my grandmother used the yield to make jelly. GREAT stuff.

  • @ajacameron5710
    @ajacameron5710 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Emmy! I grew up calling these Bullet grapes! My favorite way to eat them is to lightly bite them where they connect to the stem and the pressure will pop the fruit out! (The really ripe ones are full and firm but still soft enough to let the grapes juices move around) my favorite part of the grape is the little bit of juice that's sitting between the fruit and the skin. Its AMAZING. Be careful eating the skins, they can make your mouth all itchy!!

  • @Chelsea_024
    @Chelsea_024 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My best friend's Grandparents had a small fruit farm when we were growing up. We would spend all day outside picking fruit and making ourselves "sick" eating these, plums, and black berries during the summers lol. Ohhh the good old days!

  • @RowantarotBlogspot

    I grew up thinking, based on my parents' pronunciation, that these were "musky- dimes". They were picked wild and made into jelly, eaten exclusively with hot buttered biscuits.

    • @carlatate7678
      @carlatate7678 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Actually, my mom called them musky-dimes (she's from Arkansas), my dad, from North Mississippi, called them 'skupper-nons', which I later found is actually 'scuppernongs'. (Course if you wanna say it right you have to say 'musky-dahms' and 'skuhppr-nawns'). Apparently a scuppernong is a variety of muscadine. I'm far, far away from all this now, having moved to the UK. I wonder if can mail order muscadine jelly...

    • @ray_mck
      @ray_mck 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yep, as a kid in East Tennessee these were "musky-dimes". I don't remember many people making jelly from them, but I do remember the talk about "musky-dime" wine. Watching this video awakened some a craving I didn't realize I had. I'm going to have to make a road trip; I'm outside the wild range now.

  • @KafkameetsPlath
    @KafkameetsPlath 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Just picked these up randomly at Sprouts today because I heard in the grape vine they were good, they had the green variety too, I tried these purple ones and they are SOO good! I prefer Concord grapes over any grapes, in fact if I don’t see concord I don’t usually even eat grapes but these muscadine grapes are extremely tasty!

    Its sooooo bizarre that you posted this video yesterday. I was grocery shopping earlier this week and saw these for the first time. I love trying new foods so I picked them up. I was specifically thinking that you should make a video eating these! Even though they are delicious, the inside texture reminded me of a loogie. I can’t say it was as pleasant as your experience lol!

    Emmy, in the Southern Appalachians where I grew up, the muscadine vines grow rampant in the hills and valleys. The vines can get to be 5 or 6 inches in diameter and grow all the way up to the top of the tallest trees. We would find muscadine vines on the hillsides and cut the vine loose from the ground, and back up the side of the hill while holding onto the muscadine vine, when you get as far up the hill as you can, you jump up and grap higher up on the vine, and swing AWAY AND AROUND the tree it is attached to. Everyone has messed up and swung at full speed into the side of the tree that the vine is growing on, and knocking yourself out, and falling down the tree to the ground, then rolling down the side of the hill. It's fun! When you don't break something. LOL

    I miss them sooo much! We had them grow al over our land when I was a kid in GA , we would go pick them and eat as we played. I have not had one in years but I can still remember the wonderful flavor! I am now going to search the inter webs to see if I can find a place to order some from, because I have not found any here in San Diego.

  • @pamerard8381
    @pamerard8381 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh this jelly looks so good... thanks for all the info Emmy! 💖
    Try not to use the same utensil to spread on your toast and put back in the jelly jar to either get more jelly or even worse put some back because it contaminants your jelly and will spoil much easier. Use a spoon to drop some on top of your toast and then spread with your knife. If you need more use the spoon in the jelly to drop more on top of your toast. Try to be careful not to get too much but if you do maybe share with another household member... don’t put any back that’s already been mixed with toast crumbs or butter. I learned from experience. Too much work to have the jar go bad. 🍇

    WOW this is the first time I saw something on these grapes. I go broke buying them when I find them cause they are not common here & they are quite hardy for a grape & thats why I like them. They are fairly substantial & often satisfy a sweet tooth. Here they are $4 a lb, havent seen them cheaper. I ran out & dont have any right now so this video will serve to tease me till I go to market. THANK YOU ! :D

      I have read vineyards spray a lot against "Downy mildew", a fungal disease. The good news is that American grapes are immune to "Downy mildew". So if I had more money than I know what to do with I would buy a vineyard in Champagne and grow those grapes there. To make wine without fungicide.

    I had these muscadine grapes for the first time a month ago. Wow... that is what you call a delicious grape. You know the sensation you get when you bite into a sausage? The taut skin rips open as your teeth puncture through the flesh? It’s very similar, as the skin of this grape is thicker. And the flavor is akin to Japanese grape flavored candy. Aromatic, fresh, and delicately sweet. It’s distinct from the typical varieties we have in the US. I got my bag of muscadines from the Vietnamese market.
