In Afghanistan, grapes are stored wrapped in clay. The consumer says that the grapes stored in this way will remain the same for a year or more. The first thing you see in the viral video is a cart going by with a vine covered with clay. Then someone takes a clay pot out of it and carefully breaks it. When you open it, you see grapes sitting intact. Posted on April 17, the video has been viewed by over 2.1 million viewers so far. The video has received a number of comments.
This traditional method is followed in Afghanistan, which is surrounded by vineyards, fruit trees and snow-capped mountains. An archaeologist says in his Instagram post that the practice has been around in Afghanistan for centuries. It is also known as Kangina. The pots used by the people of northern Afghanistan are also used to keep the fruits intact during the winter.
