Flame Seedless
A tier
Flame Seedless is a crisp red seedless table grape with bright colour, firm snap, and sweet-tart balance that made it a supermarket standard for decades. Berries are medium, round to oval, and less aromatic than muscat but more vivid than plain green seedless. Clusters present well for retail. Ideal for lunch boxes, cheese boards, and roasting alongside savoury mains. Freezes as whole snacks. Choose deep red berries with bloom; pale pink often means underripe and sharp. Chill briefly before service for maximum snap, and use within a few days of peak for the brightest colour.

History
Flame Seedless was released from USDA California breeding as a red seedless table grape.
Export growth made Flame a global red seedless benchmark.
Newer proprietary reds challenged Flame, which still held volume shelf space.
