Among seeded grapes, there isn't a lot of difference, except in seed size, though a few varieties will sometimes have some smaller, soft, partly developed seeds in with the normal seeds. They usually aren't noticed much. Among seedless grapes it ranges from seeds that are not much more than a tiny visible speck in the flesh to seeds that are full size, but soft, up to normal appearing seeds that are hollow.

I have noticed when exploring Eleagnus Umbellata some have seeds that are
chewable, while most have very hard seeds. Is this range of difference in seed
hardness also noticed among grapes?
