Grapes

Grapes

Grapes have been cultivated for as long as 5,000 years and are classified as “European” (Thomson Seedless, Flame Seedless, Red Globe) or “American” (Concord, Steuben, Delaware).

Grapes contain a number of phytonutrients including ellagic acid, quercetin, and resveratrol.

HEALING TIP: Because grapes are one of the most heavily pesticided crops, and listed on the Environmental Working Group's Dirty Dozen, be sure to choose organic grapes.
