Why there is no Grape Ice Cream?

In the summer, when it is very hot, the best way to cool down is having an ice cream. Probably you have already tasted many different types of ice cream, with lots of different flavors. But have you tasted grape ice cream? I bet you haven’t.

Grape is one of most common and healthy foods in world, but we can’t make ice cream of it.  

The reason for that is one compound called anthocyanin.

 This substance is an antioxidant and it is present a lot in the grape. Also, the grape gets the color from this substance.

Anthocyanin has a molecular structure which prevents it from freezing. 

It is like a natural antifreeze and because of it the grape can’t freeze. Also, most of the flavor is contained in the skin and if we take it away all the skin, only sugar will remain in the ice cream.

 Simply, you can’t make ice cream of grape.

In case you have eaten grape ice cream, you should know that you have tasted synthetic aroma of grape.
