Fruit Art: Grapes, the perfect finger fruit

When you give kids a chance to create their own meals, they’re more likely to eat them. It’s also true that kids don’t often make the wisest choices. That’s why parents are grateful for fruit. Naturally delicious and notoriously healthy, fresh fruit is the perfect ingredient for getting kids to the table. It’s a smart food that tastes like a treat. The perfect finger food, grapes can also be the centrepiece of an appetiser plate, the sweet addition to savoury snacks, and the fun ingredient in unexpected places. Green, red and black grapes provide endless inspiration for kids of all ages to be creative and enjoy.
