fridge, green.

in the summertime, I may store some in the freezer to munch on or use to cool down a glass of wine.

Red AND Green. We get both, but my daughter only likes the green ones. I grab a colander and remove the stems, etc...give them a good rinse and divide them into ziplock bags so we can grab them quickly. 1 cup of grapes is about 62 calories...it's a good snack.

My GF loves them frozen. There's something about the texture (once frozen) that I don't like. The wine thing is brilliant though.... :thumbsup:

Also, red.

I pick them all off the stems right after I get them and then wash them in a colander, dry them off, and put them in a glass container in the fridge.

Also if they start to get a little over-ripe, I just put the rest in the freezer and eat them frozen.

I have a banana slicer that I got for my 3 year old...

She wanted to use it the other day...but then only ate 1-2 slices of the banana and started to throw the rest in the trash... I stopped her and we put her bowl of banana slices in the freezer. The next day, I asked her if she wanted to try them frozen. I've never in my 35 years sliced a banana and frozen it...but it was pretty awesome. Each sliced piece was like a firm bite of ice cream or something. My daughter liked it and I did too. If you get a chance, try peeling/slicing a banana and freezing the slices on wax paper before bagging it. (to keep the slices from sticking together) I'm going to start doing this to keep as snacks in the freezer since bananas are cheaper than grapes (generally)

I tend ot like black grapes better but green are good too. store in the fridge, usually in a ziploc back.
