Another reason for the area's grape growing suitability is the large day time and nighttime temperature differences. Being at such a high altitude, in Shaanxi, the nighttime temperature drops considerably lower than what it experiences during the day; this inactivates respiration and aspiration, minimizing the consumption of the stored sugar in the vines. Additionally, despite the low temperatures the city experiences, very little snow accumulates in winter, making it possible to grow the grapes in greenhouses during the colder months.
A beautiful form born from craftsmanship and instinct acquired over many years.
In order to grow large, delicious Shine Muscats, the task of thinning is essential. For every 100 grapes, around one third are removed to create space so that those that remain grow big and ensure that each bunch of grapes has an attractive shape to it.
Always insist on absolutely not using chemical fertilizers, chemical pesticides, artificial fruit wax, bulking agents and preservatives. During the epidemic period, people don't care about the effect, just want to feel more at ease than us. All uncle Ping's fruits are sterilized and sterilized by ozone machine in the freezer. They will be out of the warehouse to you, PIE Ozonation. (This information is provided by the supplier, we have not had the opportunity to ensure that all the information is correct) 🙏🏻

Grapes without preservatives are prone to "mold" phenomenon, just pick them off and wash them with water.
As for moldy food, you can refer to this expert article from the Hong Kong Centre for Food Safety:

🛍 Product Information :
The Shine Muscat is also attractive for its slightly firm, crispy texture. It excelled in every aspect like no other grape did, really bring out its best. Shine Muscat grapes is the “top rank” among the family of grapes. “One branch one bunch” method is adopted to grow the Shine Muscat, so the remaining bunch will absorb the maximum nutrients. Each bunch of grapes will be wrapped with paper to prevent damage from insects. It has a high sugar content of level 18 or above and without acidity. It has edible, crispy and thin skin, its flesh is seedless, firm, crunchy and juicy.
About Shine Muscat
Shine Muscat was created in 1988 by the National Institute of Fruit Tree Science (NIFTS) in Japan by the highest sugar content in American grapes, Steuben, Alexander's Muscat, Akitsu-21 and European large-grain grape varieties "Hakunan" (Katakugan and Kai A hybrid grape variety) 'Hakunan' (V. vinifera). It has large green berries, a crunchy pulp texture, a musky flavor and low acidity. The variety name in Japan is "Grape Agriculture and Forestry No. 21"「ぶどう農林21号」.
It also has excellent storage properties, the color will not get worse even in hot summer. In terms of taste, texture and aroma, it is comparable to European grapes.
This seedless table grape with a light green skin that does not need to be peeled before eating (Japanese generally remove the skin due to it being thicker in domestically-grown grapes) is characterized by its juicy, sweet, thick flesh and unique refreshing aroma, and is known as the 'Queen of Muscat'.
During the growth process of Shine Muscat, a gibberellin (gibberellic acid), a plant growth hormone, (English: gibberellin, referred to as GA) gibberellin is used. (because it is extracted from fungi Gibberella sp.), It regulates growth and affects various developmental processes, including the promotion of stem elongation, germination, seed recovery, flowering, sex expression, and leaf and fruit senescence inhibition. Method for producing seedless or large fruit. This method has been applied to Shine Muscat and many other grapes used for table grapes. It is important to note that the time and concentration of treatment are strictly controlled. Many of these methods are patented. This process thins the skin and the fruit can be eaten directly.
The main physiological role of gibberellin
- Promote the elongation and growth of plants.
- Promotes height in genetically dwarf plants (lacking the ability to synthesize GA) without affecting genetic traits.
- Breaking the dormancy period of seeds and promoting monocot seed germination, the ratio of GA and abscisic acid (ABA) can determine seed germination or dormancy (antagonism).
- Flower buds form, promoting flowering. If rosette cabbage is treated with GA, it will induce flower stem growth and lead to flowering.
- Promote the formation of male flowers of bisexual flowers, unisexual fruit.
It also has excellent storage properties. The color doesn't get worse even in hot summer. In terms of taste, texture and aroma, it is comparable to European grapes.
