Collapse ▲Muscadine grapes originated in the Southeastern region of the United States and as you may know are quite commonly grown and celebrated right here in our area. They are about 1 1/2-inches in size and have a large, tough outer skin. They don”t grow in tight bunches like grapes, but in clusters of 4 or more fruits. They are commonly used in jams, jellies, wines, or any other recipes using grapes, or fruit.
Muscadine grapes are an excellent source of dietary fiber — you’ll get about 105 calories and 7 grams of fiber from a serving of 35 muscadines, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The fruit and its juice are both sweet and fragrant. Muscadine juice has a high concentration of the cholesterol-lowering nutrient resveratrol, making it a healthy beverage choice if consumed in moderation.
This year the Muscadine Festival held in Kenansville is celebrating 20 years of celebrating the mighty grape. You can join in on the fun September 28th , 10::00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., at the Duplin Events Center, Kenansville. For more information check out their website
Hope you will enjoy these Mighty Muscadine Recipes!!!
