I never tried Witch finger grapes until my friend had picked some up from Sprouts and gave me some to try. I was so amused by the shape and I didn't know what it was called so I had to do a little research. It basically look like your typical Concord grapes except it has a long oval shape, hence, that's probably how it got its name. But the name Witch finger just sounds plain creepy like it's from a Halloween fairytale. It would be a fun way to serve witch finger grapes on Halloween!
I didn't taste any difference between the regular purple grape and the witch finger grape. It was sweet and crispy just like other grapes. I just thought it was fascinating to eat it and probably why I enjoyed it.
So how many calories are in Witch finger grapes? For 1/2, there are 50 calories, and that means you could have 1 cup of these grapes for just 100 calories and would make a great healthy snack.
