Green grapes

I was eating grapes for breakfast this morning. They were incredible, much better than any grapes I´ve ever had in the US--juicier, sweet like plums, yet still obviously grape-like. They also have seeds.

This led me to a question: Are the grapes in Spain simply superior, or are they better because they have seeds? And then: What do we sacrifice in the United States for the sake of efficiency?

Ah, I've had seed-ful grapes in the states.

They're not that much sweeter. My guess is it's the industrial process moreso than seeds or not. The same sort of general question (convenience vs. quality) still applies, though.

And yes, I'm a month behind on your blog. I've got a lot of catching up to do.
