Still ahead on today in new york, what was stolen from this new jersey home and why police say it is no laughing matter. But first its time to ask produce pete. Hey, good morning. You know, grapes are our i make popsicle out of them. Coming up next, all you want to know about picking the perfect grape. Here comes a perfect grape here. Here you want to try it . Cold though, right . I know. But frozen theyre better. Fios is not cable. Were wired differently. So we wired the wagners house with 100 meg internet. Which means that in the time it takes mrs. Wagners car to arrive for the airport, thats the power of fiber optics. And right now you can get 100 meg internet with equal upload and downloads speeds, tv and phone for just 69. 99 per month online. Cable cant offer internet speeds this fast at a price this good. Only fios can. Welcome back. Its time to ask produce pete. Good to see you. Good morning. You have a lot of different varieties here. We have the red grapes and the white grapes or the yellow grapes or thompson seedless. Theres a lot of different varieties of grapes. I had had no idea. In my day what happened was grapes are available year round. Why . Because california starts in late spring right through until probably around thanksgiving. And then right through to may. So we see grapes year round. Years ago when i was a kid, we had grapes in the summertime until thanksgiving. Then we were finished with them. But now we see them year round. The chilean grapes which come out in the wintertime, i really like. I think they do a great job growing them. Over the years, 25 years here, ive never talked about chilean i dont like them. California grapes they let them stay on the vine and get that color. That what you look for when you pick them out . What you want to look for you see that its what we call a dusty bloom on the outside. Its kind of what blueberries have. It almost looks like a powder on the outside. What that does is it stops the moisture from coming out of the grape. And thats what keeps the grape fresh. Thats what you want to look for. A dusty on the white or yellow, youll see it. Its easy. When you get to the red ones, youll see the dusty bloom. Sometimes its easier to see because theyre red like this. What you see is what you get with grapes. Once the grape is picked off the vine in california, thats when it has all the sugar in it. It will never ripen if you leave it out. What you want to do with grapes is once you get them home, you want them in the refrigerator. Do anything to them until youre ready to use them. Because once you wash the grape, its started deterioration process. Then the grape will go baaed. Grapes keep for a long time. It takes about five to eight days for the grapes to get from california to the east coast. By the time it gets to the supermarkets or your green grocer, its another couple days. Youre looking at ten days. At home you can still keep them for a week or two in the refrigerator. So they stay a long time. If you want to thats the way my wife betty likes them. Especially for the kids, i like to pull the grapes off pull them off the stem, put them into a container and then put them in the freezer like i did here. They are good. Ive been nibbling on these. I said that in the tease. Its like an instant popsicle. What it does is the sugar from the grape comes out more when its frozen. And they really are good. Its something its not an additive you have to put to to see now the the supermarkets are not loose. Many years we used to put them out on sheets loose. Now they all come in these bags like this. Theyre easier. Theyre easier to handle. Number one. Number two, youre not touching the grape. Once you touch the grape, the acid i did from your hand will deteriorate the grape a bit. Grapes are out, theyre reasonable thus freeze them, o do whatever you want with them. Theyre out there, available, and good for you. I had no idea there was so much to the grape. The good life, the grapes. They are good grapes. Thanks, pete. Send your questions to pete producepete. Com and find him on facebook and twitter. Thank you.
