Grapples are currently being test marketed with the plan to distribute them
nation-wdie in the Fall. They are Fuji apples enhanced with Concord grape

Blair McHaney, co-owner of Get Fit Foods, said he has received a 92 percent
favorable response to the fruit on an online feedback forum. The biggest
fans: Kids bored with Mother Nature.
Their makers, Washington-based C&O Nursery and Get Fit Foods, have since sold
a half-million four-packs. "
