The Jupiter grape sounds very interesting! Something I would like to try for sure. Plus Joy would be, well, a joy to taste. Comparing fruits to their candy counterparts is always neat
Looks like Vostok got into the labels. ;) I will try to sort them out. 1:01 Reliance is small, pink, fruity, and round. It is the pink "KAWAII!!!" grape. The breeder calls it a WILL ROGERS grape --- Everybody loves it. Vine is very good, too. Only drawback is the pink color can be muddy, but in San Diego it's a nice pink. Raisins are even better than the fruit. 1:01 Everest is the brand-new big blue "Welchy" (Concord flavored) one. Breeding is really coming along when you have a labrusca grape the size of a muscadine. 2:38 That one can't be Glenora, as Glenora is spherical. I'm guessing Faith. What I love about Faith is the lovely soft velvety skins, a real pleasure in the mouth. A very laid-back flavor, but it keeps you coming back. 3:40 Yes, Joy turns the acid and Fruit-Kool-Aid notes up to 11; these were a tiny bit underripe. As with a high-acid apple like GoldRush, they do eventually calm down. Joy makes other grapes taste like dish-water, it's that strong. The notes I was getting was almost . . . balsamic vinegar, but make the vinegar into a Kool-Aid flavor. (?!) 4:40 Yes, Jupiter's ethereal/lychee notes are pretty unmistakable! The pop of lychee flavor in your mouth is very addictive . . . but the skins are munchy like cole-slaw with the squeaky texture of balloon-rubber. BUT YOU DON'T CARE, because you keep eating them for the rush of heavenly ethereal flavor... 5:54 Yes, Compassion. I don't want to be mean to Dr. Clark, as he's really working hard to provide customers the crunchy grapes they want. But I found Compassion . . . too crunchy, almost carroty. Maybe they "relax" a little if they get a few more weeks on the vine. HAVE TO SEE. This was the first year from Compassion. Supposed to be a great fruity/muscat combination flavor. I'll need a few more harvests to make up my mind. 7:15 New York Muscat, confirmed because of the seed. My mom says, "You can get drunk on the juice alone." A classic. As far as the ACTUAL Glenora, I think they got eaten up first, as I didn't see any in the review. ;( I don't blame Jared; the Glenora were OUTSTANDING this year, like crunchy blueberries. Thanks for reviewing the grapes, Jared! It's very helpful to the breeders to get people interested in trying their new creations.

Less exotic since you can find them in the grocery store, but the first time I had a cotton candy grape my mind was blown. Really wish I could try these!
Shout out to CRFG! I’m a member too and their plant sales are part of the reason I’ve been able to collect so many amazing weird fruit species! Some of the members have members that rival the best botanical garden collection. It would be amazing if you were able to come here and do some sort of collab or talk with/to the group one of these days!
I was 15 and the orchard store I worked at accidentally got a small package of grapes - maybe 2'x1' styrofoam and packed in dry ice, instead of a regular crate. Small and greenish-purple. Being an idiot kid, I didn't realize anything was wrong. Put them out on display at the highest price, tried a few and my head nearly exploded. I bought and ate the entire crate before my boss realized what had happened. The bottom of the package was marked "champagne grapes" and I have no idea what the price would have been for them (in 1990), but when I saw the look on his face, I told him some customers had wandered in and bought them all:) No regrets - they were absolutely amazing.
Have you had concord grapes before? I grow them because they are hard to find fresh since they don't travel well and most are bought up for juice/jelly production. Just make sure to eat the skin too since that has a ton of flavor/nutrients!
What's not to like about this video? It's fascinating! I'd love to try all these varieties - especially the marshmallow and the ethereal. I never dreamed there'd be a creamy grape and a grape whose flavor is indescribable.
in Korea they eat mainly the grapes that taste like the 'fake' grape flavoring. It's just that particular variety they use for grape flavor apparently. Also, those grapes have quite a strong skin so they squeeze the pulp out and get rid of the skin. Also, they wont have it all year around. Koreans usually have relatively seasonal fruits.
I think this is the case in Korea too, but I know that in Japan they have a very popular green/white grape flavoring in a lot of candy that comes from moscato / muscat grapes. It might be the variety you're talking about, because the grapes really do taste like that too
i think you are referring to Vitis labrusca, not vinifera as in the video. this species have a "musk" aroma. muscat grape is a variety of viitis vinifera, it don't have thestrong skin and basically is just really sweet and floral
Funny though, in my area grows a wine, that matches your description. The owner don’t know where it came from. He bought the garden with the plant in the 90’. Since Korea is pretty much a antipode to said garden and was behind the iron curtain, this would be a interesting story to tell.
@@WeirdExplorer oh yeah. I’m dying for those patented grapes to be made available to the wider hobby-growing public. I’ve never wanted to grow grapes until these weird and delicious varieties started coming out!
best grape i had is a black musket grape organic from the farm local website,seeded aswell,seeded grapes are so much better,the little cruch the weird syrup like flavor
some of the wild grapes like Vitis rotundifolia (Wild muscadine grape), and Vitis aestivalis (summer grape) are really good so next time they’re in season I’ll see if I can get them to you.
Man I'd love to try these, especially the jupiter. Out of the odd grapes I have tried, my fave is the moon drop grape. Love their taste and amusing long shape
Grapes are among my favorite fruits! I've only tried a few varieties, and where I'm from they're not even labeled anything other than "red" and "green" so I don't know the names of the ones I've tried. Once I bought some in Brazil that had that artificial grape flavor you mentioned, it was quite strange to taste that flavor on an actual grape, didn't seem real lol
I tried some "cotton candy grapes" recently and while they were pretty inconsistent flavor-wise, many of them *really truly tasted exactly like cotton candy!!!* completely wild experience.
Fantastic video brother 👏 You have a beautiful and articulate way of describing these unusual fruits. As a conformation for pet owners, 2 years ago my 4 year old Border Collie got into my grape vines and very cutely would nibble a grape or two from the cluster. Little did I know how dangerous and toxic it was for dogs to eat them and he pasted away 3 months later from end stage kidney failure😭 Quite a difficult lesson I learned that grape season. If only I'd seen this video before that🤔 Keep up the great weird fruit exploration my friend =)
I forgot the name, but here in germany my local supermarket started to sell a type of purple grape, that tasted like mango with a hint of "Christmas spices".
My favorite grapes I've ever had were shaped like fingers, they had a black exterior and they were white-light green inside, their flavor slightly resembled black raspberry and cherries and their texture was pretty snappy on the outside yet very smooth and soft on the inside, when I looked it up, it appears they are called sapphire grapes.
Everest are fantastic if you want sweetness in anything. put them in salads, oats, smoothies, sauces. Anything you want to be sweet, it is like adding very sweet cream like you blended honey and cream into a grape.
Very interesting. Here we have some that shows up now and then that are Cotton Candy grapes. Green seedless (if I recall correctly) and they actually taste like cotton candy. They're crunchy, but not on purpose, and I don't know the proper name of them. We also get Champaign grapes. Reddish and about the size of a pea. Also very good, crunchy and sweet, but just regular grape taste. If you ever see them, try them!
Man I love grapes.. In Germany we have some in stores sometimes that taste exactly like cotton candy! Though I like all the fruity variants that also have some crunch!
I certainly haven't tasted that many grape varieties. I've only had the traditional red, green, & purple, plus cotton candy grapes & moondrop grapes. But, by far, my favorite is the moondrop grapes. Their incredible taste blew me away immediately and they're huge!
Vitacea is a fascinating family. I'm currantly growing some "wild grape" varieties from namibia and angola. They're in the genus Cyphostemma and the furit they make are poisonous so I won't be tasting them, but they make amazing leaves and a great caudex.
I mean it's prolly a boring answer, but the first time I got some Concord grapes from a farmers market, gurl........ A good fresh Concord grape is insane
The best eating grapes I ever had was way back in mid 80s from Costco in its early years. The grapes were from Chile and the size of Gages or small plums. Very deep dark purple blue, near to black. And the taste was really like an extra sweet cross of blueberries & grapes - Never could figure the variety name.
It's crazy to me how sometimes I can tell what a fruit tastes like just by looking at it... even though i've never had it before. It's happened quite a few times, and for this video it was the glenora (that mark says was really the faith grape), by looking at it I just knew it had to be floral-like. Idk why my first thought was "that's a grandma grape" lmao
I can't remember the name, but the other day I had some small pink grapes. They were VERY densely packed on their stems, and they had the texture and dry/tart skin of a seeded grape, but they were totally seedless.
I'm not sure, but I think he did an episode on that maybe a year ago. There are some walking trails in NYC where people are growing different plant varieties.
I lived in wine country and was given some wine grapes to make a grape pie (yes they are a thing). OMG eating them raw they were soooo sweet and flavorful! I had no idea grapes could taste like that - no wonder they make strong wine - they have a ton of sugar.
I’ve had a wild variety of grape that grows here and I couldn’t believe how close to the “artificial grape” candy flavor it tasted. I wish there were more grape varieties in stores.
Probably vitis labrusca, fox grapes. Native to much of eastern North America. Artificial grape flavour and grape jelly flavour was made from concord grapes, which are a variety of vitis labrusca. They're not well-liked for their wine, though you can buy fox grape wine (think manishevitz), since they have an 'unpleasant' musky 'foxiness ' in their taste. I don't mind wine made from concord grapes personally, but the foxiness really is a dominating flavour.
@@WeirdExplorer thank you genie of RUclips lol. Since last December I have been looking for a type of grape that looks like the buffalo grapes in size color and skin type, and the only thing I had to go off of was the unique taste from some that I jacked from someone’s garden long story… lol turned short I was startled by some raccoons that were on someone’s arbor when I looked turns out they were munching on the grapes that were trellised at their persons front gate so I was curious and tried one, was blown away so I took a few extra for the seeds but no luck. They had a very sweet taste that was more like candy with a hint of cotton candy flavour that slowly revealed its self as it sat in my mouth so I took a gamble on the buffalo grape hoping that local nurseries sold a limited variation but it seems like their is very little in detailed description on taste profile as I’m waiting for next year to finally find out what and if it was the right one it’s been one of the least detailed grapes or atleast from my attempts to search for something as in-depth as you go. Or even growing info but at this point I’m still crossing my fingers it’s the same as what I tried. Ps love what you do. When I was younger I remember people would go super in-depth on taste profiles of food items but now a days ( aside from you) I find on average most people keep it away to simple aka “these grapes taste great” or their my favourite. Came across one website that mentioned they have a cotton candy like taste so figured it would be a good start well I’ll find out come next year. Other than that I am trying to find a few more fruits that are unique and will grow here in Vancouver Canada as a tribute to my grandma and her farm back in Jamaica seeing that it’s Been a while since I’ve been kinda wanna stave off home sickness ( although I’m Canadian/Jamaican we used to go every two years but life is as it is) by starting something to remember her by you’ve gone over a few lemon varieties one of which sounded similar to one she had on her property that I’ve just been calling a sweet lime/lemon you could literally juice it without adding sugar and it has very textured skin. Needless to say more your channel has been a very uplifting breath of fresh air thank you and keep it up.
I suppose the first was the reliance because it looked like that much more. The grape flavouring taste what you are talking about may be the "labrusca" flavour?
I know of a wine, that tastes like wine gummy. It’s mostly weird, full of seeds and the skin has a harsh taste. The plant is at least 40 years old. Sadly the owner don’t know the story behind this particular breed.
The most "fake grape flavour" grape I know are the Ontario blue grapes, which I'm always happy to see on the shelves since we can buy them only a month per year. It would be very nice to have such a wide variety of grapes in groceries, but I guess the cost would be quite prohibitive at best, and its sad.
Where are Mickey and Friends grapes from? These greengrapes have indented lines and taste almost like water with slight hint of citrus. smooshy texture. I prefer more snap to my grapes. I also have red Scarlotta... I usually don't like red but these are at least crispy but low flavor
Wow. Seven people mentioned COTTON CANDY in this thread, and COTTON CANDY wasn't even among the grapes tasted. I do keep my eye peeled for excitement among fruit-lovers, and the response to CC has been extraordinary. I will pass that on. Just to make sure no one propagates it by mistake.
Which grape sounds best to you?
I'd like the muscat one.
Thanks to the person who sent those to you to review!
How tf u know what a cloud tastes like? You jesus or sumn?

Looks like Vostok got into the labels. ;)
I will try to sort them out.
1:01 Reliance is small, pink, fruity, and round. It is the pink "KAWAII!!!" grape. The breeder calls it a WILL ROGERS grape --- Everybody loves it. Vine is very good, too. Only drawback is the pink color can be muddy, but in San Diego it's a nice pink. Raisins are even better than the fruit.
1:01 Everest is the brand-new big blue "Welchy" (Concord flavored) one. Breeding is really coming along when you have a labrusca grape the size of a muscadine.

4:40 Yes, Jupiter's ethereal/lychee notes are pretty unmistakable! The pop of lychee flavor in your mouth is very addictive . . . but the skins are munchy like cole-slaw with the squeaky texture of balloon-rubber.

5:54 Yes, Compassion.

Maybe they "relax" a little if they get a few more weeks on the vine. HAVE TO SEE. This was the first year from Compassion. Supposed to be a great fruity/muscat combination flavor.

Thanks for reviewing the grapes, Jared! It's very helpful to the breeders to get people interested in trying their new creations.
Many interesting things in the pipeline: Razz-ma-tazz, Marquis, Iona, Neptune, Muscat of Alexandria, Seto Giants . . . in future years.

My wine grape people have some reliance. It was by far my favorite of theres. It came from North Idaho area, does growing temperatures affect flavors?
Wow do you know where I can purchase jupiter grapes?
Thank you for all this wonderful information!!!
Speaking of wines, which of these grapes do you think would make the best wine, and what do you think a Jupiter wine would taste like?
Mark, how do I get your grapes?
Glad you enjoyed all of them! I’ll post some more exotic ones in the discord and send you them once we’ve grown enough.

Cotton candy grapes are PLENTY OF TASTY

Grape flavoring actually does taste like grape, it’s just that not many people have had concord grapes or other slipskins.
slipskin sounds like an insult you’d hear in Fallout
Dang, you're the coolest. Hats off to you
Lol, Jared eating a Jupiter grape and his soul leaving his body never gets old.
Jupiter grapes sound like a fruit faeries would eat... I want to try them so bad!

When you refer to apples for sweetness what apple are you referring to? Honeycrisp is really sweet where a lot of others are just mildly sweet.
Apples are about halfway between no sweetness and pure sugar. Lots of very sweet grapes are much sweeter than an apple but not as sweet as pure sugar.
I've been watching a bit of WKUK lately and "It's Grape Time!" instantly reminded me of the grapist skit.
1) Will they ketchup?
2) Will they hollandaise?
I think I like the glenora among those you tasted, but I can't forget the taste of the cotton candy grapes so deliciously and unique
I'd love to try them all.So interesting.Thank you.🙂😋💖
I love grapes, they all sounds so good! I'll have to try and get a hold of these.
It’s exciting to find when otherwise commonplace fruits have cultivars with unexpected flavors!
I had some in China once where they tasted exactly like roses. It was amazing!
I want that!
I am going to have to try these.
Would love to get some Scuppernongs too.

Very interesting. Here we have some that shows up now and then that are Cotton Candy grapes. Green seedless (if I recall correctly) and they actually taste like cotton candy. They're crunchy, but not on purpose, and I don't know the proper name of them.
We also get Champaign grapes. Reddish and about the size of a pea. Also very good, crunchy and sweet, but just regular grape taste. If you ever see them, try them!
The Muscat sounds like the old blue grapes we ate off the vine at my aunt's house in Texas.
I have a friend with a cat named grapes. The kitty doesn't eat grapes, I don't know why the name, but I like it.
Man I love grapes.. In Germany we have some in stores sometimes that taste exactly like cotton candy!
Though I like all the fruity variants that also have some crunch!
I certainly haven't tasted that many grape varieties. I've only had the traditional red, green, & purple, plus cotton candy grapes & moondrop grapes. But, by far, my favorite is the moondrop grapes. Their incredible taste blew me away immediately and they're huge!
can't believe ur not at a million subs yet smh🤦 dope channel!
Vitacea is a fascinating family. I'm currantly growing some "wild grape" varieties from namibia and angola. They're in the genus Cyphostemma and the furit they make are poisonous so I won't be tasting them, but they make amazing leaves and a great caudex.
I had a grape time watching this.
I mean it's prolly a boring answer, but the first time I got some Concord grapes from a farmers market, gurl........ A good fresh Concord grape is insane
The best eating grapes I ever had was way back in mid 80s from Costco in its early years. The grapes were from Chile and the size of Gages or small plums. Very deep dark purple blue, near to black. And the taste was really like an extra sweet cross of blueberries & grapes - Never could figure the variety name.
It's crazy to me how sometimes I can tell what a fruit tastes like just by looking at it... even though i've never had it before. It's happened quite a few times, and for this video it was the glenora (that mark says was really the faith grape), by looking at it I just knew it had to be floral-like. Idk why my first thought was "that's a grandma grape" lmao
I recently had a grape cultivar named "Cotton Candy." Pretty awe-strikingly sweet, but not like an actual, dried raisin.
I can't remember the name, but the other day I had some small pink grapes. They were VERY densely packed on their stems, and they had the texture and dry/tart skin of a seeded grape, but they were totally seedless.
Will you do a series of trying edible plants that can be foraged around your area? There are so many more than people assume
I'm not sure, but I think he did an episode on that maybe a year ago. There are some walking trails in NYC where people are growing different plant varieties.
great vid btw grape seeds are super healty
Cotton candy grapes are my fav!!
I like the jam grapes, they’re even jammy inside.
Take a shot everytime he says flavour, flavouring, and like 😂
My mum used yo make nice grape jelly out of the red grapes we grew in the backyard.
I lived in wine country and was given some wine grapes to make a grape pie (yes they are a thing). OMG eating them raw they were soooo sweet and flavorful! I had no idea grapes could taste like that - no wonder they make strong wine - they have a ton of sugar.
Omg I need to start growing grapes and then crossing them
I bought few years ago the cotton candy flavoured grapes in Tesco. It was very interesting.
Was this in England ? If so I’m going to hunt those grapes down
@@thedaniespot Atomic Shrimp (a British youtuber) bought some recently so yes you can get them in England.
I’ve had a wild variety of grape that grows here and I couldn’t believe how close to the “artificial grape” candy flavor it tasted. I wish there were more grape varieties in stores.
Probably vitis labrusca, fox grapes. Native to much of eastern North America. Artificial grape flavour and grape jelly flavour was made from concord grapes, which are a variety of vitis labrusca. They're not well-liked for their wine, though you can buy fox grape wine (think manishevitz), since they have an 'unpleasant' musky 'foxiness ' in their taste. I don't mind wine made from concord grapes personally, but the foxiness really is a dominating flavour.
As a Mark I thank you on behalf of Mark.
4:10 it's the Gros Michel banana of grapes!
Last night I was wishing you had a grape variation video! Just wow guess 😂
You still have two more wishes Gar Wal. Use them wisely.
@@WeirdExplorer thank you genie of RUclips lol.
Since last December I have been looking for a type of grape that looks like the buffalo grapes in size color and skin type, and the only thing I had to go off of was the unique taste from some that I jacked from someone’s garden long story… lol turned short I was startled by some raccoons that were on someone’s arbor when I looked turns out they were munching on the grapes that were trellised at their persons front gate so I was curious and tried one, was blown away so I took a few extra for the seeds but no luck.
They had a very sweet taste that was more like candy with a hint of cotton candy flavour that slowly revealed its self as it sat in my mouth so I took a gamble on the buffalo grape hoping that local nurseries sold a limited variation but it seems like their is very little in detailed description on taste profile as I’m waiting for next year to finally find out what and if it was the right one it’s been one of the least detailed grapes or atleast from my attempts to search for something as in-depth as you go. Or even growing info but at this point I’m still crossing my fingers it’s the same as what I tried.
Ps love what you do. When I was younger I remember people would go super in-depth on taste profiles of food items but now a days ( aside from you) I find on average most people keep it away to simple aka “these grapes taste great” or their my favourite. Came across one website that mentioned they have a cotton candy like taste so figured it would be a good start well I’ll find out come next year.
Other than that I am trying to find a few more fruits that are unique and will grow here in Vancouver Canada as a tribute to my grandma and her farm back in Jamaica seeing that it’s Been a while since I’ve been kinda wanna stave off home sickness ( although I’m Canadian/Jamaican we used to go every two years but life is as it is) by starting something to remember her by you’ve gone over a few lemon varieties one of which sounded similar to one she had on her property that I’ve just been calling a sweet lime/lemon you could literally juice it without adding sugar and it has very textured skin. Needless to say more your channel has been a very uplifting breath of fresh air thank you and keep it up.
Besides the sweetness and flavor timing, what does the Jupiter taste like? Any resemble to other fruits?
The sometimes strong extra taste of purple grapes what makes me like grapes.
“People who breed grapes are Grape people” - Jared 2021
Love your videos
I suppose the first was the reliance because it looked like that much more. The grape flavouring taste what you are talking about may be the "labrusca" flavour?
I know of a wine, that tastes like wine gummy. It’s mostly weird, full of seeds and the skin has a harsh taste. The plant is at least 40 years old. Sadly the owner don’t know the story behind this particular breed.
Thanks for informing your pet owning fans about grapes.
Its such a random thing, I was surprised to learn about it.
It is grape time jared! =D
I wish it was easier to find grapes with seeds in them. I love the seeds.
Grapes are also very good for you.
What a grape video!
The most "fake grape flavour" grape I know are the Ontario blue grapes, which I'm always happy to see on the shelves since we can buy them only a month per year. It would be very nice to have such a wide variety of grapes in groceries, but I guess the cost would be quite prohibitive at best, and its sad.
I dunno about anyone else, but I sure had a grape time!
Concord grapes have that grape
Flavoring.
Where are Mickey and Friends grapes from? These greengrapes have indented lines and taste almost like water with slight hint of citrus. smooshy texture. I prefer more snap to my grapes. I also have red Scarlotta... I usually don't like red but these are at least crispy but low flavor
camera quality better than my eyes
Wow. Seven people mentioned COTTON CANDY in this thread, and COTTON CANDY wasn't even among the grapes tasted. I do keep my eye peeled for excitement among fruit-lovers, and the response to CC has been extraordinary. I will pass that on. Just to make sure no one propagates it by mistake.
Lot of buzz about those. I get asked about them all the time.
I LOVE GRAPE TIME
What a cute cat! Who is she/he? What's favorite food he/she eat!?
That's Vostok, she's the sweetest. She only eats fish varieties of canned food, which must be in chunks.
@@WeirdExplorer Thanks for share!
Congrapeulations for another great Video
Mmmmm Bread Grapes
Happy Thanksgiving
Hey man, you might hold the actual record for most fruits tasted by a human
If I die before eating an ethereal grape, I will be missing out so much and my soul will be disappointed
