Nutrition and benefits of grapes
As many of you may know, grapes contain a lot of polyphenols. They are especially abundant in the skin and seeds, and are said to be effective in preventing cancer and arteriosclerosis. In addition, carbohydrates such as glucose and fructose directly serve as a source of nutrition for the brain, stimulating brain function and improving concentration.
