Types of Seedless Grapes

Seedless grapes are not truly seedless. Most varieties have a small seed trace running through the middle of the berry. The seed traces vary in size with some seedless grapes containing large seed-like nuts. In order to produce a better tasting grape with smaller seed traces, researchers cross-breed seedless varieties.
