Description
Grapes are fruits rich in antioxidants and water, especially in their skins, which offer health benefits such as preventing cancer, preventing muscle fatigue, and improving bowel function. Each grape variety offers specific properties, and the greatest benefits are gained by varying the consumption of green and black grapes.
Purple grapes are special mainly because they are the largest source of resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant found in large quantities in their skin. It offers benefits such as:
• Prevent cancer: because it is rich in resveratrol and phenolic compounds, antioxidants that maintain proper cell development;
• Prevent cardiovascular diseases: its anthocyanin, tannin and flavonoid components help to relax blood vessels and prevent the appearance of atherosclerosis;
• Improve the intestine: especially when consumed with skins and seeds, which increases their fiber content;
• Prevent anemia: because it is rich in folic acid.
Purple grapes pass resveratrol to red wine, which is why moderate wine consumption also helps prevent cancer and cardiovascular disease.
