grape

Grapes are small, juicy fruits with a sweet, slightly tart flavour. They can be eaten fresh or used in salads, sauces, desserts and baked dishes, and are also dried to make raisins.

Grapes grow on grapevines, climbing plants from the genus Vitis. The fruit develops in bunches, most commonly on the species Vitis vinifera, which is cultivated for table grapes, raisins, juice and wine.
