The fruit ripening period in summer is from July to August each year. Due to the unique terrain and location of the region, the climate has a large temperature difference between day and night, and the rainfall is moderate, the Kyoho grapes produced are dark and sweet.

Neat and plump, the fruit granules are firm when the stalk is gently lifted, less fruit drop, and the white fruit powder is evenly distributed, while the moderately ripe fruit has a darker skin, a sufficient aroma and a high sweetness.

Wang Anshi also reminded that if you buy grapes home, if you don't want to eat them right away, you can wrap them in paper and store them temporarily in the refrigerator.

In addition, when washing the grapes, first remove the rotten grape berries, and carefully cut them with scissors at the junction of the grape stalk and the fruit, but be careful not to cut the peel, otherwise it will be more easily contaminated after washing. To the pulp; after cutting, put the grapes into the basin, add a little water, and gently scrub.
