Muscadine - The All American Grape
The All American Grape: The Muscadine
They were as wild and untamed as the land they covered. In 1584 Sir Walter Raleigh
described them as being "on the sand and on the green soil, on the hills as on the plains,
as well as on every little shrub... also climbing towards the tops of tall cedars ... in all the
world the like abundance is not to be found."
This early English explorer had landed on the coast of North Carolina and was describing
muscadine grapes, Vitis rotundifolia, the bronze or purple-black fruit that was growing
profusely throughout what is now the southeastern United States. Today, more than 400
years later, scientists with USDA's Agricultural Research Service and Mississippi State
University have even more reason to be excited about the muscadine. Research conducted
by ARS horticulturist James B. Magee and Mississippi State nutritionist Betty J. Ector predicts
that the muscadine will not only be an alternative crop for growers in the Southeast region of
the United States, but a new health food as well.
