What are the different types of grapes
As one of the fruits with the largest planting area in the world, grapes have become the focus of attention for fruit farmers and consumers with their rich variety system. From fresh eating to winemaking, different grape varieties show unique charm in appearance, taste, and planting characteristics, allowing us to delve into the biological features and cultivation value of five representative varieties.
Representative varieties of European and Asian grapes
Red Seedless Grapes: The late-maturing champion with purple-red fruits
Red Seedless Grapes demonstrate their advantages with large fruit sizes, with clusters weighing 500-800 grams and individual berries weighing 10-13 grams. Under the purple-red skin is crisp and juicy flesh, with a perfect balance of sugar and acidity, making it the star of the Mid-Autumn Festival fruit basket. Its cold resistance is weak, and protective techniques such as earthing up for winter are required for cultivation in the north.
Black Seedless Grapes: The blue-black gem for transportation
Originating from the United States, Black Seedless Grapes, with their 0.5-0.7 kg conical clusters, excel in cold chain transportation. The blue-black skin and sweet and sour taste create a unique flavor, with a skin thickness of 0.3-0.5 millimeters, providing a natural protective layer for long-distance transportation.
Green Seedless Grapes: The productive model of seedless white heart
The seedless variety introduced from the United States is widely planted in the northern part of China, with fruit clusters in a standard cylindrical shape and a single plant yield of up to 15-20 kilograms. The skin is bright yellow-green, with a stable sugar content of 18-22%, especially suitable for large-scale planting bases.
Characteristics of hybrid varieties presented
Golden Finger: The fragrance of golden fruit particles (Z-D)
The hybrid Golden Finger is known for its巨型 fruit clusters weighing 750 grams, with yellow and white fruit particles emitting a rich fruity fragrance. The skin tensile index reaches 3.5N/cm², making it an ideal choice for pick-your-own farms, with the ripening period coinciding with the peak of summer tourism.
Summer Black: The early-maturing star with the bloodline of巨峰
Derived from Japan, Summer Black perfectly inherits the advantages of the 巨峰 series, with a seedless rate of 99.8% and a soluble solids content exceeding 20%. Its ripening in mid-July allows it to seize the market first, and growers can further advance the listing time through promoting cultivation.
From the late-ripening and storage tolerance of Red Seedless Grapes to the early-ripening advantage of Summer Black, the selection of grape varieties needs to consider climatic conditions and market demand. Fruit farmers can combine the different ripening periods of varieties for mixed planting, while consumers can choose according to their preference for sweetness and acidity. Whether it's the refreshing taste of Green Seedless Grapes or the rich taste of Black Seedless Grapes, the grape kingdom can satisfy different taste bud needs.
