Key benefits of grapes

Both red and black grapes contain powerful antioxidants and resveratrol, which helps to prevent both the narrowing and hardening of the arteries. Ellagic acid, which has anti-cancer properties, is also contained in grapes. They do, however, have a very high sugar content.


How much grapes should you eat?

Grapes have many health benefits, but have a high sugar content and should therefore be eaten in moderation.
