Sweetums Cotton Candy Grapes

Sweetums Cotton Candy Grapes are a specialized variety of table grapes cultivated for their unique flavor profile, which closely mimics the taste of spun sugar. These grapes are part of the 'Sweetums' brand, a label known for its high-brix (sugar content) fruit offerings. The 'Cotton Candy' variety was originally developed through natural plant breeding techniques by International Fruit Genetics (IFG) in California.

Because grapes are seasonal products, they are grown and harvested in various regions to ensure year-round availability in grocery stores. Common manufacturing and growing origins include the United States (specifically California), Mexico, Peru, Chile, and South Africa. The packaging often reflects seasonal branding, such as the Easter-themed rabbit and egg design visible in the image, highlighting their positioning as a sweet, healthy alternative to confectionery.

The global rights to the 'Cotton Candy' grape variety and the associated IP were traditionally held by IFG, which was acquired in 2023 and merged into Bloom Fresh. This entity serves as the ultimate owner and licensor of the genetics, while groups like the Pandol family's marketing arms or licensed growers like Kyoho (visible on the bag) handle the distribution and local retail branding.
