DS and I were just outside playing in the baby pool and snacking on some frozen grapes DH popped in the freezer for us. Holy heck, where have I been? Frozen grapes are fab!
Does your one year old eat the whole grape? I still peel and cut up my DD's grapes. Maybe frozen grapes would help her teething. Hmmm.
Peel?? Oh man I can't imagine having to peel grapes. We do usually either cut them in half or just squish them, but sometimes he'll eat a small one whole (he has his molars). If I had to peel them DS would never be eating grapes.

Ditto - peel? Holy crap, labor intensive.
And I thought cutting into fourths was time-consuming!
Yes I do peel the grapes. Tomorrow I will try without! I'm afraid of the skin because my daughter only has three teeth still.
It's amazing what they can chew with just their gums! Baby gums are much tougher than ours - they are supposed to be. Be prepared for a change in poop though, you'll see the skins again.

Re: Frozen grapes rule
Oooh nice.
OMG that sounds heavenly!!!!
::Leaves to go pick up grapes and wine::
I have never heard of this!
and these are not a choking hazard for toddlers?
I'm don't even give ds regular grapes...they just make me nervous. I usually cut them first.
We BLW so I've always given grapes to DS but halved. Since we were outside I just bit thefrozen grapes in half.

He would if I gave him a whole one. He put two halves in his mouth and went to town. I'm sure they felt good on his gums with those stupid molars.
