Abstract
A process of drying an intact whole grape having substantially the same configuration as the fresh grape is described. The dried grape has a moisture content (wet basis) of below about 10% and varies from crisp to chewy depending on the time and temperature of drying. The critical step in the process is drying in a vacuum chamber. Preferably the heating medium is microwave energy applied to the grapes in the vacuum chamber.
