Brilio.net - There are many types of fruit that are commonly consumed every day, one of which is grapes. This fruit is known to have a refreshing combination of sour and sweet flavors. Especially if the wine is eaten cold after being put in the refrigerator.
However, usually before storing it in the refrigerator , some people choose to wash it first so that the wine is cleaner and more hygienic. This is because grapes sold on the market are usually coated with wax to make them more durable and long-lasting.
So, to remove the layer of wax on the skin of grapes, many people use additional ingredients such as vinegar. This kitchen ingredient is known to have a high acid content so it can help remove the wax layer.
But if you don't have a stock of vinegar at home, you don't need to worry because there are still other tricks for removing the wax layer on grapes . This trick was demonstrated by TikTok user @annepermata. He admitted that he didn't use vinegar and only relied on 2 easily available kitchen ingredients.

To choose quality grapes, you can pay attention to the following things:
1. Skin color.
Choose grapes that have bright, even skin color. Avoid fruit that is too pale or too dark.
2. Size.
Choose grapes that are medium in size and proportional in weight. Avoid fruit that is too small or too large.
3. Firmness.
Check the firmness of the grapes by lightly pressing them. Quality fruit is usually firm and not too soft.
4. Stems and stalks.
Make sure the stems and stems of the grapes are still attached to the fruit and don't come off easily. Dry stems or loose stems can be a sign that the fruit is no longer fresh.
5. Skin condition.
Look to see if the skin of the grapes has wrinkles or other defects. Choose fruit whose skin is smooth and free from damage.
6. Aroma.
Smell the grapes to detect a fresh, sweet aroma. Avoid fruit that has no aroma or has a strange aroma.
7. Variety.
Some grape varieties have certain characteristics that are considered high quality, such as muscatel grapes which have a sweet taste and distinctive aroma.
