Look for plump and firm grapes with vibrant colors. Try to find grapes still attached to green and pliable stems and undamaged skins. You shouldn\u2019t be able to smell the grapes too much.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Keeping Grapes Fresh Longer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips on how to keep your grapes fresh longer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Choose grapes that are firm and vibrantly colored with the stems attached and undamaged<\/li><li>Keep grapes unwashed and in their original container if possible.&nbsp;<\/li><li>If you want to wash your grapes before storing them, make sure to dry them off as much as possible.

If you don\u2019t have a crisper drawer, you can keep grapes in an airtight container by the coldest part of your fridge, but away from the vents to prevent dehydration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How Long Do Grapes Last In The Fridge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep your grapes fresh longer, you don\u2019t need to do anything besides plopping them into your crisper drawer in the fridge. Properly stored grapes that are unwashed and left in their original container can stay fresh for up to two weeks or even longer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How Long Do Grapes Last On The Counter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grapes-on-table-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"grapes on counter in a bowl\" class=\"wp-image-2038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grapes-on-table-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grapes-on-table-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grapes-on-table-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grapes-on-table-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grapes-on-table-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/grapes-on-table.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Grapes left on the counter can last up to two to four days versus two weeks in the fridge with proper storage. We wouldn\u2019t recommend keeping your grapes on the counter because they do best in cold temperatures and highly humid environments. Keeping them on your counter can cause them to ripen faster and wilt.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Should You Wash Grapes Before Storing Them?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/washing-grapes-in-sink-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"washing grapes in sink\" class=\"wp-image-2040\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/washing-grapes-in-sink-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/washing-grapes-in-sink-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/washing-grapes-in-sink-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/washing-grapes-in-sink-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/washing-grapes-in-sink-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/washing-grapes-in-sink.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To keep grapes fresh and plump, try to disturb them too much. For example, when you wash your grapes, any excess water left on the grapes can run the risk of encouraging mold to grow in the container. Washing may also cause grapes to break away from their stems, leaving an opening for mold to grow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How To Store Grapes After Washing Them<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/spinning-dry-grapes-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"drying grapes in salad spinner\" class=\"wp-image-2039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/spinning-dry-grapes-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/spinning-dry-grapes-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/spinning-dry-grapes-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/spinning-dry-grapes-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/spinning-dry-grapes-760x507.jpg 760w, https:\/\/www.fueledwithfood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/spinning-dry-grapes.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you choose to wash grapes before storing them, it\u2019s essential to dry them as much as possible to prevent molding.
