Red Grapes

Grapes have long been cherished for their versatility, especially red grapes. Delicious fresh off the vine as a snack or dessert, and used to produce wine as far back as humankind can remember, this fruit has long been a popular and high-demand food. Only recently, however, have researchers began to discover the power in the humble grape. More particularly, in the darker colored varieties.

Nutrients in grapes

  • Manganese is the most prominent macronutrient in grapes. This mineral is vital to proper thyroid function, bone and nerve health, and protecting cells from free radical damage.
  • Vitamins C, B1, B6, and the mineral potassium are found in smaller amounts, but still provide the body with their respective health benefits, such as boosting the immune system and optimizing brain function.
  • The grape is a rich source of polyphenols, mainly flavonoids, phenolic acids and resveratrol.

Health benefits of grapes

Mainly due to its high concentration of various polyphenols, red grapes offers a lot of protection against various degenerative diseases. Following are some of the specific benefits offered by the juicy fruit.

  • Reduce risk of heart disease. Both a flavonoid called quercitin, as well as resveratrol (found in red grape skins), reduce blood clotting and protect LDL cholesterol from free radical damage.
  • Promote a stronger and healthier heart. Resveratrol inhibits the action of a hormone that can weaken the heart under certain circumstances.
  • Reduces risk of stroke, again due to the resveratrol.
  • Lower cancer risk, because of high antioxidant value.
  • May lower cholesterol because of the antioxidant compound pterostilbene.
  • Reduces risk of hypertension-related deaths.
  • May lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
