Step 3: Gently Scrub the Grapes

After the soaking period, it’s time to give each grape a gentle scrub to remove any remaining residues.

Instructions:

Remove the grapes from the soaking solution, taking one or two at a time.
Rinse under running water: Hold the grapes under cool, running water and gently rub them with your fingers. This step ensures any loosened residues or dirt are washed away.
Be gentle: Take care not to bruise the grapes during this process. Use a light touch to preserve their shape and texture.

Step 4: Rinse and Dry

Once you’ve scrubbed all the grapes, it’s time to rinse them thoroughly and dry them for storage or immediate consumption.

Instructions:

Use a colander or salad spinner: Place the cleaned grapes into a colander or salad spinner. Rinse them under cold running water to ensure all traces of the cleaning solution are gone.
Shake off excess water: If you’re using a salad spinner, give it a gentle spin to remove excess water. Otherwise, gently shake the colander to achieve the same effect.
Dry the grapes: Lay the grapes out on a clean kitchen towel or use paper towels to pat them dry gently. Removing excess water is important, as it prevents the grapes from becoming soggy and ensures they stay fresh longer.
