I know that most people today like pale grapes with no seeds and little flavor. I have always liked the American fox grapes-vitis labrusca. Concord is the most famous among them. I started growing Van Buren and Campbell's Early/Island Belle, because they would ripen and Concord often would not. Now it's no problem to get Concord to ripen. I like the seeds. They are an extremely healthy part of the plant. Instead of driving to the health food store, buying grape seed extract and driving home, I just chew them up after eating each grape. Doctors and nutritionists often recommend these grapes for their high antioxidants and resveratrol. It's not the alcohol in the wine that makes it healthy.
