It's a great time to eat a grape—they're at their sweet and juicy peak in October. You can find grapes in red and green varieties, with or without seeds, depending on what you like best. Here are four ways that grapes can be a tasty part of your diet this season:
They're low in calories. One cup of grapes only has about 60 calories—far from being a diet-buster.
They help protect your heart. Grapes are high in phytonutrients—resveratrol, in particular—which can help reduce your risk of heart disease and cancer.
They'll help keep bones strong. Grapes are an excellent source of manganese, which aids in calcium absorption.
Raisins make a tasty treat. Dried grapes are a terrific and portable snack on the go.
