Here’s Why They Don’t Make Grape Ice Cream

When it comes to ice cream, there are so many different flavors to choose from that at times, it can be difficult to make a decision. We have any type of fruit ice cream you could possibly imagine added in the mix, which makes it even more difficult.

Imagine what life would be like without strawberry ice cream. They would have to change Neapolitan ice cream altogether! That isn’t even to mention some of the more popular flavors, such as blueberry, black raspberry, peach, cherry, mango, and pineapple. There are even some unusual flavors that you may not see very often.

If you happen to go looking for grape ice cream, however, you are going to be out of luck. It just doesn’t exist, and you may be wondering why.

First of all, it’s important to say that we are not talking about popsicles or any other type of frozen treat. What we are talking about is actual grape ice cream, something that you will not find at the grocery store.

There has been a lot of talk in the past about why grape ice cream is so difficult, if not impossible to find. Some people have tried to say that grapes aren’t capable of freezing, but all you have to do is put a few grapes in the freezer to discover they freeze quite well.

There is another theory that grapes may not be made into ice cream because it is bad for dogs. This has even been expanded on, saying that Ben Cohen from Ben & Jerry’s made grape ice cream and he killed his sister-in-law’s dog!

Although conspiracy theories are interesting, we realize that there is not always a lot of truth that rings within them. The truth, however, may just come from Ben & Jerry’s.

One of the employees for Ben & Jerry’s, Sean Greenwood, works in public relations and he had a discussion with Thrillist. He gave the truth about why you don’t see grape-flavored ice cream, and that is because grapes have too much water in them.

Since grapes are 80% water, they tend to form ice chunks when they are frozen. If you try to use them as a base for ice cream or any other creamy frozen product, it would not work very well.

There is another reason why grapes aren’t used. After all, cherries are used and they have similar water content. The other reason is that grapes don’t work as well with other flavors, such as vanilla or chocolate. They would have to stand on their own, which they don’t do well.

Then again, there’s also the possibility that grapes just don’t taste very good when they are made into ice cream. They do fine as a popsicle or as another frozen treat, but when ice cream companies have tried to make grape ice cream in the past, it did work out all that well.

So, although you may try to find grape ice cream, you will not be able to find it.

It seems as if we are not missing much, however, so we can just move on with our lives and go with our old favorites.
