What is Grape?
Grapes are small, juicy fruits that grow in clusters on vines. They are typically harvested and sold fresh, but can also be used in a variety of processed forms, such as dried (raisins) or juiced.
Grapes are used in food products for their natural sweetness and flavor. They are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants such as resveratrol and have been linked to various health benefits, including cardiovascular health. However, as with any fruit, moderation is key, especially when grapes are processed into higher sugar forms like juice or candy.
When you see grapes listed on a label, it often indicates the inclusion of grape juice, extract, or flavoring, which can affect the sugar content and overall nutritional profile of the product.
Commonly found in: Candy, Juice, Wines, Jellies, Raisins
