Health Benefits of Grapes
Like so many other plant-based foods, grapes can be considered healthy for a variety of reasons. They contain 17% of the daily value of vitamin K, and 33% in manganese, but the polyphenol resveratrol content represents one of the most important phytonutrients because of its ability to protect against colon and prostate cancers, coronary heart disease, degenerative nerve disease, and even Alzheimer’s.
Anthocyanins, another plentiful antioxidant polyphenolic in red grapes, generate anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-cancer activities. Oligopeptides (peptides or amino acids) with antibacterial properties, and catechins (a type of flavonoid antioxidants) found in white grape varieties, also abound with health-protecting properties.
