I just chewed them up really really well and I couldn't even tell that there was a skin there. Is this wrong?
From my experience, there are some grapes where I was able to just chew the skin up with the grape....and some where it made a little ball of skin I had to spit out. I think it depends on the kind of grape. The large, dark, seedless ones had great skin I could chew up well.
