When it comes to fruit air-shipped from Korea, grapes are undoubtedly everyone's favorite! But did you know that not every bunch of Korean Shine Muscat can be called "Gongju®"? Combined with the recently popular Korean Red Hyang grapes, what exactly is the difference between them? BuyFruit Easy will explain the grading and flavor characteristics of premium Korean grapes in one article!

💡 Fun Fact 1: The "Gongju Princess" of Grapes! Golden Ratio - Guaranteed Sweetness

"Gongju®" represents the "boutique grade" quality certification from top production regions in Korea. It adopts the extremely strict "one branch, one bunch" cultivation method to ensure that all the nutrients from the entire vine are concentrated in a single bunch of grapes.

To pass the "Gongju®" grade certification, it must meet the following 3 major golden ratios:

• ☀️ Over 150 days of sunlight: Ample sunlight makes the fruit flesh plumper and juicier.

• 🍯 Guaranteed sweetness up to 20°Bx: Astounding sweetness, extreme sweetness with a rich muscat aroma.

• ⚖️ Strict selection of weight and color: Each bunch is strictly checked to ensure even coloring, plump berries, and thin, crisp skin.

💡 Fun Fact 2: Comparison of 3 Popular Korean Grape Flavors

1. Korean Gongju® Shine Muscat Grapes (Premium Certified)

• Appearance: Emerald green and round, with excellent coloring.

• Texture and Flavor: Thin, crisp skin upon biting, followed by a burst of rich muscat aroma and sweet juice, with delicate, seedless flesh, a boutique-grade indulgence.

2. Korean Shine Muscat Grapes

• Appearance: Bright green, large berries.

• Texture and Flavor: Edible with the skin, no astringency, with a sweet floral aroma and firm, springy flesh.

3. Korean Red Hyang Grapes

• Appearance: Bright red to purplish red.

• Texture and Flavor: Thin skin, seedless, crisp and refreshing texture, perfect sweet-tart balance, and very palatable.

💡 Fun Fact 3: What is the "White Powder" on the Surface of Grapes?

Many people mistakenly believe that the white powder on the surface of grapes is pesticide. In reality, it's a naturally secreted "fruit bloom"!

• Function: Protects the fruit from losing moisture and prevents bacterial invasion.

• Selection Indicator: The more evenly distributed the fruit bloom, the higher the freshness! Gently rinse under running water before eating; there's no need to vigorously wash off the fruit bloom.
