Description
Southern Fox Grape Vitis Rotundifolia Fox Grape is a Florida Native grape vine that will totally take over any area, if you let it! But, we always love any problem you can eat your way out of!! in the Springtime the flowers will bloom & are very pretty. This is the perfect time of season to pick the grape leaves for cooking. The springtime leaves are not yet firm, soft & flexible. The grapes ripen in late Summertime. Although they are on the smaller side, the taste is very sweet! There are a few seeds inside to avoid. Deer & other wildlife LOVE to eat these sweet treats. Our favorite Greek dish is Dolmades. This is made from stuffing the grape leaves with meat, herbs & rice or lentils. A little cheat we found is cooking a rice & lentil soup then adding cut up grape leaves. It tastes pretty much the same, but cuts out the time & finesse of needing to roll & cook without breaking the leaves. The seeds are removed from the grapes, rinsed in Florida spring water & left to dry for 48 hours. Seeds are then placed in the refrigerator for storage until sold. These seeds were harvested July 2023 Seed Starting Sow outdoors in Fall for natural over Winter stratification for sprigs by Spring.
