2 kilograms rinsed Thomcord Seedless Grapes. They are a type of Concord grapes. Although very similar in taste, in Italy we normally use a grape called Uva Fragola. These grapes typically have seeds which give Schiacciata all’uva a bit of a crunch with each bite. Thomcord grapes did not have any seeds.
