Grapes contain a variety of nutrients, including amino acids, sugars, vitamins, minerals and trace elements, and photochemical, and are often consumed daily as a healthy fruit.


Different colors have different effects:


Purple grapes and black grapes.


Darker colored grapes contain more anthologists and flavonoids and contain more potassium, magnesium, calcium, and other minerals than other colored grapes, which help fight fatigue and improve cardiovascular disease symptoms when consumed in moderation.


Caution:


Grapes are tasty and healthy and are suitable for most people.


However, the average sugar content of grapes ranges from 10% to 15%, with some varieties even reaching 20% or more, and should not be consumed in large quantities to avoid adverse effects on the body.


Diabetic people, people with gastrointestinal problems, and people with allergies are limited to eating grapes.


The "white frost" on the surface of the grapes looks dirty and is not even easy to wash off.


But the white frost represents freshness and is harmless to humans.


It is a sugar alcohol substance secreted by the grapes themselves and is scientifically called "fruit powder", which protects them and reduces water evaporation, thus preventing rapid water loss and shrinkage after picking.


In addition to grapes, plums, blueberries, prunes, and other fruits also have a similar white frost on their surface, which can also be eaten without fear.


Misconceptions about washing grapes:


1. When washing grapes, first rinse off the dust and impurities on the surface of the grapes with running water, then soak them in water for a while, and finally rinse them several times with running water.


2. It is a mistake to wash grapes by pulling them down one by one.


The pesticides and bacteria on the surface may enter the grapes through the break and contaminate the flesh.


On the other hand, some of the grapes' nutrients will also be dissolved in the water and lost.
