Stale bread will not make you sick. Chefs use it in recipes for croutons, breadcrumbs, etc. as long as there is no mold. Stale just means it's lost it's moisture. If it tastes OK to you, then eat up! = ) twofunnyboxers Â· 10 years ago.
Color. While knowing when to harvest Concord grapes is more about taste than color, Concord grapes will turn a telltale darker shade two to three weeks before peak harvest. The color can vary depending on where it is grown, with the standard deep blue-purple color slightly lighter in colder areas and darker in warmer climates.
Ice wine grapes must reach a sugar reading of at least 35Â° brix at harvest, otherwise, theyâre downgraded to a late harvest wine. German, Austria and Canada are the traditional producers of this wine, employing grape varieties such as Riesling, Vidal Blanc, GewÃ¼rztraminer,and even Cabernet Franc. Late harvest and ice wines are not for everyone, but theyâre a great change of pace and an ideal way to end a meal.
