If the great culinary professionals have taught us anything, it's that when it comes to preparing food, there are many ways to solve problems with any household utensil. The same thing happens with grapes. Although it may seem unprofessional, there is a very practical way to remove the seeds and skin from this fruit. All you need is a widely used hair accessory: a bobby pin. It must be very clean and preferably new.

What you need to do is insert the curved part of the bobby pin through the hole that connects each grape to the bunch, pointing toward the seeds. From here, you must use leverage to easily extract the seed and squeeze the flesh of the fruit. Little by little, you will eliminate the seeds. If you don't have a bobby pin at home, you can try it with a paper clip. But remember to disinfect it before using it to eliminate bacteria.
