I wonder exactly how this works scientifically. It’s got to be something with stopping exposure to open air and moisture.

Fresh might be a bit of a stretch

Fresh? Sweet, full of flavor, and covered in mud, perhaps.

Hey since those grapes slightly aged, is there like a small alcohol content on those ?

You can do that with McDonald’s cheeseburgers on a dashboard and they last for decades

Maybe Tesco etc should start doing this instead of the staggering amount of pesticides and preservatives on their grapes (and everything else).

That’s how they would do it back in the stone age and in those days

I can’t even come home from the grocery store, take a piss and my kids have eaten them all.

It’s called **Kangina** and it works by air-drying them inside these discs made from straw and mud. Essentially sealing them from microbes and moisture. These grapes can stay fresh for as long as 6 months. These are effectively ancient Afghan vacuum-sealed bags. Amazing stuff.

For the grapes

When refrigeration is not common, these methods are indeed helpful. I assume more than 100 years ago this is how Europeans also transported grapes. It’s a little sad that there are countries today where refrigeration is still not common.

Wondering how long they hold. I guess a plastic bag woildn’t absorb excess water like the mud. Theres got to be more to preserving grapes than throwing a dessicant in with a bag of grapes. Maybe a ph change from the mud?
