What Are Muscadines?
Muscadines or Vitis rotundifolia (sub genus Muscadinia) are native grapes to the southeastern United States, are well adapted to the humid, warm climate, and exist in many varieties. The specific variety of choice depends on its intended use (wine, juice, jellies, packaged food, etc.), growth pattern (productivity), sugar content and ease of harvest. The more popular varieties of Muscadine grapes include: Carlos, Doreen, Noble, Dixie Red, Fry, Higgins, Ison, Magnolia and Scuppernong. Muscadines are an excellent source of many of the nutrients we need on a daily basis. These Muscadine products contain nutraceutical compounds recognized to aid human health. Hyman Vineyards focuses on supplying plant extracts containing these compounds for both external and internal usage.
