Grapes

Grapes are small, round to oval-shaped berries that grow in clusters on the woody vines of the Vitis vinifera plant, belonging to the Vitaceae family. They come in a variety of colors including green, red, purple, black, and golden. Grapes can be seedless or seeded depending on the variety. They are juicy, sweet to slightly tart in taste, and widely consumed fresh, dried (raisins), or processed into wine, juice, and vinegar. Grapes are rich in natural sugars, dietary fiber, vitamins C and K, antioxidants (especially resveratrol), and polyphenols, making them both a delicious and health-promoting fruit.
