A WHOLE BUNCH OF HEALTHY
Research into the potential impact to our health when consuming grapes suggests that the whole grape - which contains over 1,600 natural plant compounds, including antioxidants and other polyphenols - offers a range of intriguing health benefits when included in our daily diet. The most significant among the grape phytonutrients is a "family" of compounds called polyphenols. All grapes - red, green, and black - contain polyphenols. They are found in every part of the grape: the skin, the flesh, and the seeds. Simply put, grape polyphenols appear to protect the health and function of our cells. That sounds pretty basic - which it is - but how these influential compounds accomplish the job is both complex and fascinating.
