Red grape with the sweet tropical flavour is generating similar following to Cotton Candy a few years ago, breeder says
International Fruit Genetics (IFG) is reporting increased demand from both consumers and growers for its Candy Hearts table grape variety. The company said the red grape, known for its sweet tropical flavour and floral aroma, is quickly becoming one of its most popular varietals.

Today, Candy Hearts grapes are mainly harvested from Chile and available in stores during March and April. From May, production will move to the US and Mexico, which will supply US stores throughout the summer.

According to IFG, the grapes can vary in colour intensity depending on the region where they were grown, but they always retain their unique flavour.
