Grapes Pack A Healthy Punch



Grapes are full of numerous health promoting phyto-nutrients such as poly-phenolic antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Grapes have Resveratrol and may also help delay and prevent brain aging and associated diseases, like Alzheimer’s. Red grapes have also been shown to lower cholesterol and blood pressure in clinical studies.

Minerals in grapes include:
Potassium
Calcium
Phosphorus
Magnesium
Iron
Selenium
Trace amounts of copper
Manganese
Zinc

Grapes also contain the vitamins A, B and C.

I am munching on grapes this week because they are filling, delicious, good for me and best of all, red or green organic grapes are on sale this week at my local grocery store for only 1.99 a pound!
