What exactly is the gunpowder-like substance on seedless grapes, and what's the best way to get it off?

It's grey, ashen, and tastes like metal dust. I assume it's some kind of pesticide, but what is it precisely? Is it dangerous? What's the most efficient and thorough way to get it ALL off, as it's quite awful to consume if you miss even a little when rinsing grapes.What exactly is the gunpowder-like substance on seedless grapes, and what's the best way to get it off?
You should rinse all fresh fruit and vegetables in a white vinegar and water solution.What exactly is the gunpowder-like substance on seedless grapes, and what's the best way to get it off?
It is a natural occuring yeast. You can wash it off. But if you drink wine you want the stuff. It is what helps to turn the natural sugars in the grape into alcohol in wine.
Sound like powdery mildew a fungus that attacks grapes. Are these your own grapes? as they occur in humid still weather. Control by spraying with sulphur and avoid watering fruit. Air movement around fruit is beneficial
gawd!!! try to wash it off or brush it off----------------call the produce manager %26amp; ask what that is !!!!!!!!!
Wash your fruits and vegetables. That's the best advice I have. Some people are more sensitive to the pesticides and whatnot they use, but everyone should always wash their produce.





Grapes are great because they are so sturdy. Fill a bowl with lots of fresh cold water and drop the bunch in. You may need to rub each grape to really get them clean.
It is a pesticide and it varies from grower to grower. Wash them with water before eating the grapes. It is not good for you.
