Anyone else noticed that seedless grapes are not seedless any more ?
Recently bought from Asda, Tesco, Home Bargains & Lidl and every one of them now contain seeds.
I just hate having to spit out grape seeds !

My partner has devoured a packet of the growers harvest red grapes every week for yonks - they don't even claim to be seedless, but I just asked and he's not had any seeds at all.
So maybe try the cheap ones?! Not much to lose at this point.

We're currently enjoying the Sainsbury's red seedless grapes while they're on special offer, and not had any pips yet

Seedless grapes mean seeds that are very soft compared to the hard dark pips.Asda is the cheapest of all the supermarkets as their packs are 400g (as I recall); two for £21

And their grapes do last. I have a pack that has been lurking in the fridge for 3 weeks - not at its best I grant you, but perfectly edible.Bacman said:Seedless grapes mean seeds that are very soft compared to the hard dark pips.Asda is the cheapest of all the supermarkets as their packs are 400g (as I recall); two for £2No man is worth crawling on this earth.

Each retailer sells varying varieties of grape, so it won't be the retailer you need to look at but the variety you are buying.
Personally within red grapes I won't touch Flame but Crimson are lovely. As are Thompson (green).2 -
The flame ones are weird, crunchy on the outside and green inside. They are the grape equivalent of Cox's.KxMx said:Each retailer sells varying varieties of grape, so it won't be the retailer you need to look at but the variety you are buying.
