Muscadines

I was in the grocery store the other day and while walking around in the produce section I got a whiff of a familiar scent. It took me back to my childhood days. I turned and there on display were muscadines. If you have ever smelled them you know what I am talking about. When I was young, my grandparents had muscadines growing wild next to their house and to this day whenever I smell the scent I am immediately taken back to the days long ago when I would help myself to their muscadines. They have a thick hull and the taste is absolutely mouthwatering. I eat the entire thing, only discarding the big seed inside. I did a little research after deciding to write this blog and discovered that muscadines are indigenous to the southeastern part of the country. I had no idea. I imagine they are readily available all over these days so if anyone reading has never had the good fortune to try muscadines then by all means if you ever see them in your produce section be sure to buy some and give them a try. You won't be sorry.
