Grape nutrition and facts

Grape

Grapes are one of the most prevalent types of fruit, and we can find them almost everywhere.

Grapes are very versatile too, and they form the basis of many different wines, juices, jams, and dessert products.

Not many people know this, but grapes are botanically a kind of berry. Although there are thousands of different grape varieties, they are typically classified as either white (green), red, purple, or black.

The health benefits of grapes are purported to come from their high polyphenol content. However, grapes are also one of the highest-sugar fruits.

As a result, red wine is often thought of as a health drink since it contains concentrated polyphenols and little sugar.
