I love grapes. I just ate some. Not sure about the eye thing though but damn they're good.

Green and dark purple. It’s a variety pack from Albertsons. They’re pretty big too.

I noticed the bigger / fatter grapes are, the less flavor they have.

Yesterday went to a fruit market and got few things there..... anyways i saw some grapes and thought oh will get some been so long... went to get one bag and then my eyes went on the price 25 dollar's per kilo i just thought i will wait next time when the price drop a little i think grapes in season start about November

Food prices here are terrible, along with the price of everything else.
I have no idea how your $$ compares with ours, but that seems REALLY outrageous.

I've always been told to eat loads of carrots too, been too lazy to eat them, and my mother told me I'd be able to stop wearing glasses one day if i eat carrots and i so gullibly believed it lol

I like cooked carrots but I heard cooking or boiling them takes the nutrients out of them which defeats the purpose of eating them (aside from them tasting good)

Raw carrot "stix" dipped in Ranch dressing?

Yeah I heard that too.
Apparently it depends on the vegetable though, as spinach actually has more folate when cooked. But less protein as far as i remember?
