One of the most famousice cream brands in the United Stated, Ben & Jerry’s, claims that grape ice cream does not exist. Maybeas you're reading this, you've realizedthat the ice cream shop in your neighborhood does not have grape ice cream.But maybe you think you've had it before? In reality, grape ice creamdoes not exist (PS: Your favoritepopsiclessorbet, or Otter Pops do not count).

You may have seen a grape flavor in some snack foods, but never in an ice cream.

The real reason

In the history of gelatoand ice cream, there has always beenan issue when usinggrapes as your main ingredient due to the amount of water in the fruit. Yes, you can always have grapes in a puree, but using this fruit in a large scale for creating ice creamcan become a problem.

Unlike the other fruits, grapes have a higher water content. You have to keep in mind that once you have a base that is watery, it's impossible to createchunks of ice. It's already achallenge to make gallons of ice cream per batch, imagine making watery ice cream. The bottom line is that attempting to make watery ice cream in large batchesis not easy. Popsicles, on the other hand, are expected to be icy, but a lot of it is artificial flavoring. This may be fine, but for most ice cream or gelato companies, this is impossible. Fresh ingredients is a must.

Overall, people may have never tried grape ice cream or gelato. In return, they no longer desire to have one because of productiondifficulties.

  • Grapes area hugerisk for dogs. Theycould be deadly for your furry friends, because it can spill on the floor and they may eat it. One time,Ben Cohen (from Ben & Jerry’s) made a grape flavored ice cream for a girl he had a crush on, who happens to be Becky, Jerry’s sister.
