Quick Answer
Seedless grapes were cultivated in antiquity, with major development in the ancient Mediterranean world by at least Roman times.
The Full Story
Seedless grapes have been known since ancient times, and their cultivation was established in the Mediterranean by the Roman era. They likely arose from natural mutations that made seeds underdeveloped or absent. Growers preserved these useful variants by propagating vines vegetatively. Over centuries, selection and cultivation produced many of the familiar seedless grape types eaten today.
