Many fruits have variations. Apples grow red, green, and yellow. Oranges grow big and little. Tomatoes can have both of these qualities. But one very controversial variation of fruit comes to grapes. Which are better, purple or green grapes? Find out what people think below, and pick a side for yourself.
Grapes obviously grow in two very distinct colors: purple (also known as red) and green. The difference isn’t just in color, but also in the flavor. Purple grapes have more of a softer texture and sweeter taste, while green grapes are more solid and have a notable tart or bitter taste. Purple grapes are also very high in antioxidants, keeping cells healthier and safer from harm.
Overall, the runner up was…purple grapes! A total of 23 people voted for purple grapes as their favorite. People definitely noted that the flavor of the purple grapes top the green grapes. Ms. Ange said, “I like purple grapes when they are small and sweet. Green grapes are very flavorless.”
This means that the winner was green grapes! With an outstanding 33 votes, people definitely like the sour flavor with their grapes to give that kick needed for fruit. “Crispy, green grapes are best,” said Nate Chan. Though green grapes have less of a sweet taste, that’s what separates them from purple ones and makes them more preferable for some, or in this case, most. Freshman Sofia Bello said, “Just better,” which doesn’t say much, but shows what many people thought about these bite sized fruits.
There were also a few votes for cotton candy grapes, which have a very sweet, almost candy taste to them. Though they are technically made with green grapes, they are so different that they weren’t included in the green grapes vote. “Really sugary, tastes like sugar,” said Amir Hassan.
In general, tastes of food can be very different depending on the person. Some like the sweeter taste of the purple grapes, while others like the bitter taste of green ones. Personal preference is the key, so it doesn’t matter much which is better, as long as you like what you like. Happy snacking!
