 Grapes
A grape is the non-climacteric fruit, botanically a true
berry, that grows on the perennial and deciduous woody vines
of the genus Vitis. Grapes can be eaten raw or used for making
jam, juice, jelly, vinegar, drugs, wine, grape seed extracts,
raisins, and grape seed oil. Grapes are also used in some
kinds of confectionery.
History
The domestication of purple grapes originated in what is now
southern Turkey. Yeast, one of the earliest domesticated
microorganisms, occurs naturally on the skins of grapes,
leading to the innovation of alcoholic drinks such as wine.
Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics record the cultivation of
purple grapes, and history attests to the ancient Greeks,
Phoenicians and Romans growing purple grapes for both eating
and wine production. Later, the growing of grapes spread to
Europe, North Africa, and eventually North America.
Native purple grapes belonging to the Vitis genus proliferated
in the wild across North America, and were a part of the diet
of many North American first peoples, but were considered by
European colonists to be unsuitable for wine. The first Old
World Vitis vinifera purple grapes were cultivated in
California where Spain had established a series of monasteries
along the coasts to supply their navies with oranges to
prevent scurvy and convert natives. Grapes have always had a
part in history. There are old greek troughs and coffins in
the Getty Villa, and they show cherubs in tubs of grapes,
making wine.
