Cotton candy grapes are the BOMB 💣 Not come across gum drop grapes yet. Will keep my eyes peeled, thanks!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks for the comment Hench! Hope you are well bro. The gumdrops are crazy sweet too.

Congrats on 600K subscribers! I would like to see a video on GMOs and particularly the use of animal genetic material in the production of plant foods. Another great video, Derek! 👏🏼👏🏼

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you! The GMO topic get's really weird when you look at how they are modifying animals! They "have developed a way to incorporate spiders' silk-spinning genes into goats, allowing the researchers to harvest the silk protein from the goats' milk for a variety of applications" Ummm okay.

[@sarahdee374]

I just finished a great melon called a "kiss". I think it's a mix between a honeydew and a cantaloupe. Now you got me wondering whether it was GMO or not. I just googled it and can report it is a hybrid and not GMO, yay.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Most of our food like that is hybrid. Like I mentioned in the GMO section with the info graphic, there are actually very few varieties of GM foods on the market.

[@caitlinh8613]

I tried a Kandy Lemon drop melon for the first time this year and it was sooo good! I like watermelon but don’t care for honeydew or cantaloupe, so I didn’t have high hopes. I’m happy I took a chance though, the Kandy lemon drop is sweet and more flavorful in my opinion!

[@Lindabseattle]

I am so thankful for all the farmers and distributors of our food! We are truly blessed. I love how you explain food science. Please share more and congratulations on hitting 600K...love your videos!

[@plantpoweredmuscle]

Haven’t had cotton candy grapes in a while. I love seedless black grapes, but ultimately I love Concord grapes the best!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes I love those too! Cotton candy grapes are the offspring of Concord and another variety!

Have you tried Thomcords? They are Concord bred with Thompson Seedless. Taste like giant Concord, but with no seeds.

[@KensieP]

Food science is fascinating! I complain about the food industry a lot, but the actual science of it is super cool! I have some cotton candy grapes in the fridge, my wifes favorite sweet treat. throwing them in the freezer for a bit before eating *chefs kiss* so good!

Bro I'm a fellow Canadian. Do you know of any greenhouses / nursery s that sell these grapes ?

[@sarahtaylor3950]

Cotton candy grapes are in the uk, so yummy, would love to try the red gummy drops grapes

[@Simnettnutrition]

They are equally as good!

[@langreeves6419]

When I first saw cotton candy grapes in the stored, I did NOT buy them. I thought they had been artificially flavored! Years ago I had bought what I thought was an apple hybrid, the grapple....but that was a normal apple with artificial grape flavor injected into it. But after I found out cotton candy grapes were not artificial, I got them and loved them. I really love the lemon drop melon, which tastes like lemon candy... Only can get them in melon season.

Derek bro you are looking like an absolute unit. Literally vegan goals.

[@aoleespy6416]

What up man? I am what you would call a ‘silent learner’. I have been following you for a long time but l never have any questions except for an ‘Ask Me Monday’ I did ask a long time ago. I asked about being vegan and taking creatine. Most people do not have the resources to buy food that isn’t processed in some way. Can you please go into this subject deeply because according to the attached video eating animal products can actually be healthier than eating plant based in some cases. Please look at the video and tell me what you think. I’m plant based forever but an, intelligent, insight is needed/wanted.

[@lilith7706]

"Diddle your tomatoes" 😂 🍅 anyway, I love these informative videos!

[@eugeneriebeek6106]

I have never hear about these grapes before. But the most important question is: can you make wine out of these grapes? And is that wine any good? So suck it Pinot noir

[@vegan.voyager5691]

I'm going to stick to natural and heirloom. All that scares me

[@vegasdragonfruit9258]

Love this video. I just bought some gum drop grapes and they are the best grapes I've ever tasted. Also, you should try putting them in the freezer for an hour or so. The texture, temperature, and taste are amazing!

[@ellaa5528]

This was a great video, wish i could try those grapes Love to see a garden tour and what you’re growing lately

[@Simnettnutrition]

They are sooo sweet it is actually incredible! And the garden is not so sweet. Just tomatoes and a bit of kale now, everything else has come and gone.

[@carmenbailey1560]

All this information is fascinating to know. That being said I personally want a grape that taste like a grape. I buy a watermelon and the flavour was messed with to taste a bit like cherry/strawberry in the compost bin it went. Thanks for sharing your findings. 👍❤️😊

[@mikeskylark1594]

That's some next level horticultural science...

[@annieesther8405]

I'm old fashioned. I get heirloom produce whenever I can. I don't like cotton candy grapes - too sweet for me. However, it was good to know that cross-pollination is something that can happen naturally with many crops, so probably not something that would harm us. That being said, I know that some foods, such as wheat, have been tampered with far too much and are actually not as healthy as they used to be. Eventually, manipulating plants that way can lead to them losing important nutrients and rendering them difficult to digest (hence gluten intolerance or celiac disease).

[@smifnwess93]

Agreed

[@kennedycourtney9546]

[@MakeupandMasque]

Cotton candy is my absolute favorite so when they made a healthy grape version I was hooked. Makes me sad they are not a yearly thing. So I stalk up and freeze them. So addicting.

[@witchyvegan]

Fascinating info thanks! When cotton candy grapes first started hitting our market a handful of years ago there was only one brand, and they were only available for 1-2 months. I read an article back then from The Grapery, and they discovered the grape originally by accident when the two grapes you mentioned cross pollinated. Now of course other companies are creating them too, and we are able enjoy them a few more months of the year. My favorite grape!

[@Simnettnutrition]

You looked into it to! Yes the Grapery is awesome! They even work on sustainability... or so they say. :D

[@jeanneamato8278]

Congrats on 600,000!!!!!! Not to be a downer but I prefer grapes that taste like grapes. Eggplants used to be white, hence the name.

[@alisonlutton9378]

Really interesting! I’d love one on GMO food and would like you to also address a related but important question: somewhere recently I read that even when these methods are safe the foods are risky because they were bred to survive pesticides so are more likely to have been sprayed heavily.

[@Wwetitanfan27]

Yeah the people who think there is nothing wrong w gmos are definitely missing that

[@omarb2653]

@@Wwetitanfan27 GMO in and of itself isn’t the issue then, it’s pesticides which are known carcinogens. Modifying an orange to express higher amounts of homogalactouranin, the enzyme that synthesizes pectin which gives the cell walls a thick protective coating, is not bad. In fact it could potentially reduce pesticide use which is good because there is a bigger protective layer between the inside of the fruit and the outside world which is full of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms that would love to eat the fruit. GMOing a plant to be more herbicide and pesticide resistant could be dangerous to the consumer because more cancer causing agents are being sprayed onto your food which is a bad thing. It’s not so cut and dry as “GMO bad”

[@Wwetitanfan27]

@@omarb2653 I agree. My point was there are some who say GMO not bad and it's not that cut and dry in that direction either

But then you lose the delicious banana flavor lol I also will sometimes use avocado ..but will still add banana because they’re delicious!

I learned the hard way about hybridization with peppers. I grew habaneros and sweet Hungarian peppers in my garden last year. They were right beside each other and my sweet peppers turned into flaming hot banana peppers due to their proximity to the habaneros 🥵

Hold up, nutritional comparison please. Most important thing what's the health value of this sh**!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Haha sorry, I guess I should have done that. They are very similar to other grapes, like Concord grapes. More concentrated in calories since they have managed to pack more sugar into them. But other than that, the same. Still antioxidants and all the the good stuff.

[@rachelerickson3885]

Amazing information

[@true4585]

I picked them up on accident. I didn’t even know they had grapes that tasted like candy. I thought it was just the labels name. So you can imagine my surprise. Next thought, was how was this possible and is this gmo? I was scared eating them. They are okay. But I prefer my grapes not to taste like candy, but they aren’t bad. Kids will love them. That’s for sure!

[@livlauryn]

No one asked lol but but I can't eat bananas because of ibs. When I make smoothies, I will usually use frozen mixed berries, cherries or blueberries with mango for sweetness. My favourite is 75% blueberries with 25% mango, cherries is good with chocolate protein/cocoa powders. Just for, you know, in case we run out of bananas lol

[@josephr9551]

Isn't science fascinating! The way I see it, GMOs are basically evolution on steroids. Not necessarily a bad thing, just homo sapiens giving mother nature a shove to hurry up. Does the hybridization and GMO benefit life on this planet? That's what we should look for.

And for more help, hybridization can also be called breeding. Hybridization is a process of conventional breeding, while conventional breeding also uses hybridization to create new species or subspecies.

[@VanillaAttila]

I thought grapefruit was created by bombarding the seeds with radiation

[@beigebirdstudio]

I'd love to see what other info you can find on hybrid and GMO foods. I've read that anything without seeds is GMO even if they claim its non GMO. The biggest concern is what our countries consider non GMO and safe. For instance China sells a bottom feeder type fish to the US and calls it salmon. How do they get away with calling it salmon? Cuz China just slapped a label on it calling it salmon and the US don't care if its real salmon or not and they buy it cuz its cheap and then charge us consumers more money for it making us think its real salmon.
