It is truly unique and different in comparison to other green grape varieties on the market today, and has received considerable acclaim from both retailers and consumers during its testing phase, according to a press release.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><img src="https://cdn.andnowuknow.com/legacyWriterImages/dulcich_body1_052814.jpg" alt="cropped_image_052714" /><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> “We realized that customers were not getting the green grapes they wanted. So we decided to find the perfect grapes ourselves,” says Nick Dulcich, President of Sunlight International Sales. “<B>Fresh, big green grapes with sweet flavor and a healthy crunch.</b> That’s what customers want, and that’s the Green Emerald. This is the best green grape I have ever seen! <B>It has size and taste and has an incredible shelf life.</b>”<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> In 2007, the Dulcich family began by studying an original green grape variety that was large in size but still contained a hard seed trace. They put it through a two-year selection process that resulted in a dedicated test parcel planted in 2009. After another two years of production and market testing, the new variety was ready for expanded plantings. In December 2013, Dulcich received a plant patent to grow and ship the new Green Emerald variety.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> For the 2014 shipping season, Dulcich has <B>increased the availability of the Green Emerald</b>, expanding its growing area to its Arvin and Maricopa ranches to give longer market access.<hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"> In celebration of this exciting new variety, Sunlight International’s Facebook page will be offering a special giveaway starting in August. <B>Winners will receive a mini-box of Green Emerald grapes each week for the first ten weeks of their season.</b> Keep an eye out on the company’s Facebook page, linked below!</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://facebook.com/PrettyLadyGrapes" target="_new"> Sunlight International Facebook Page </a></p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p> We can’t wait to see this new variety in stores!</p><hr class="legacyRuler"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><hr class="invisible minimal-padding"><p><a class="btn btn-sm btn-primary col-lg-12" style="white-space: normal;" href=" http://dulcich.com" target="_new"> J.P.
