Kyoho Grapes Are One Of The Best Table Variety

By Roger Hall


The grape is excellent to the taste and has very good nutritional value. Varieties of the fruit have been developed for different applications. There are those used for winemaking, and those table varieties that are eaten fresh. Still, there are those that make good jellies and preserves, as well as raisins when dried.

A type that was originally cultured in Japan is now marketed after a harvest season that lasts from August to September. As a dessert, it is served fresh and has no equal. Kyoho grapes are the sweetest, largest types, which are excellent for eating fresh.

The fruit is as big as a small lemon, wit the bitter, thick skin peeled before being consumed. But peeling it easy, just a matter of slipping it off. In Japanese tradition, the peeled fruit is served chilled. Kee-OH-ho is how it is pronounced, coming from a cross between European and American varietals. The name is a simple rendition from Mt. Fuji, which is simple known as big mountain to people who first grew the fruit in the vicinity.

They can now be bought in markets in the city Los Angeles, CA. The demand for them is ever increasing because of their inherent quality as well as availability. People are beginning to realize its excellent taste. In Christmas, they are predicted to become more desirable for people.

The Kyoho has great nutritional elements like vitamin C and thiamine, fiber and potassium, as well as a phytonutrient called resveratrol. The type is also good for cocktails, even if they are just preferred fresh. Grapes are often seen as fruit for making alcoholic beverages like wine, but there are types that cannot be used for them. But the food values are the same with all types.

First grown in Japan, they account for a third of all table varieties there today. Other places have adopted it, like Chile and California. Again, it is increasingly becoming popular with the locals. Breeders are now testing for seedless varieties, to compete with the best loved table types.

This variety is quite versatile, being well suited for making sweet wine and preserves, even becoming popular as juice. These grapes, however, have a bit of a disadvantage because they are a soft type and should be delicately handled or risk damage. When harvesting is over, these are immediately sent out for consumption or refrigerated as spoon as possible.

In the years that it has been here, the great news is that it has been taken as a great natural sweet dessert by many Californians. The best table variety is now being edged out by Kyohos in North America. In the city of Los Angeles, they are an ever present favorite with locals who have found it one the best eating for the table.

The affordability of Kyohos is because of the plentiful supply. They are grown as perfect as could be and go to market as bunches of perfectly shaped berries. The Japanese have come to develop a perfect variety that is now appreciated in many places. A good 20 to 30 berries usually belong in a bunch, and can go up to 300 or more grams.
