Shine Muscat Grapes
Developed in Japan and now a global sensation, the Shine Muscat is a premium grape variety prized for its large, yellowish-green berries and "non-slip" skin. This means the skin is thin, crispy, and tightly attached to the flesh, making it 100% edible. It is often called the "Mango Grape" or "Perfume Grape" due to its incredible sweetness and distinct floral scent.
Season: Peak quality from Japan and Korea is typically August to October, but they are available year-round from various regions.
Flavor & Texture: Boasts a very high sugar content (Brix 18-20+). The texture is firm, jelly-like, and "snappy" when bitten. The highlight is the Muscat aroma—a delicate, flowery perfume reminiscent of lychee and roses.
Primary uses:
Luxury Snacking: Best enjoyed chilled as a stand-alone dessert.
Pastry Decoration: A favorite for Japanese fruit sandwiches (Sando), tarts, and premium cakes.
Gifting: Often packed in high-end gift boxes for special occasions.
Benefits:
High Antioxidants: Contains polyphenols in the skin that help fight free radicals.
Instant Energy: Natural sugars provide a quick boost for the brain and body.
Vitamin Rich: Good source of Vitamin C and K for immunity and bone health.
