Wild Grape Seeds (Vitis spp.)

Price for Package of 10 seeds.

Wild grapes (Vitis spp.) were found by European settlers when they arrived on the East Coast of what is now the United States. Accustomed to the domesticated grapes (Vitis vinifera) native to Europe, the rampant vines and fruits of the wild grapes encouraged grape connoisseurs to hybridize various species to produce larger, sweeter fruits for wine, juice, and jellies. While a few native wild grapes have been cultivated, most domesticated grapes are vinifera cultivars.

The main differences between wild and cultivated grapes are the size and sweetness of the fruits, pest and disease resistance, and propagation. In general, wild grapes tend to have smaller fruits than domesticated grapes.

They grow easily and are much less fettered with disease and pests than cultivated grape cultivars, making them quite prolific growers. Another reason they can be classified as wild grape weeds.

Wild grapes produce fruit ranging from 1/8- to 1-inch in diameter. While the fruits are edible, they vary from acidic to sweet (the seeds we offer from Wild grapes, are the fruits very sweet).

Are Wild Grapes Edible?
Yes, wild grapes are edible

Wild grapes are great for juicing and they freeze very well if you don’t have time or the inclination to juice immediately. The juice makes excellent jelly. They can be cooked into dishes and the leaves are edible too. Known as ‘dolma,’ the leaves have long been used in Mediterranean cuisine, stuffed with rice, meat, and various spices.
