GRAPES Grapes can be stored in the refrigerator for one week. Table grapes come in black, blue, golden, red, green, purple and white, and can have seeds or be seedless. Cut the stem to separate grapes from the bunch, then wash thoroughly. Grapes are grown for making wine, each type of wine comes from a specific variety of grapes. Select grapes that are plump, firm and still attached to the stem. Avoid any grapes that are shriveled or sticky. Grapes are great snacks, and can be added into salads with both fruits and vegetables. Grapes can be canned as jams and jellies, made into wines and juices, or dried as raisins. Frozen grapes are good snacks or blended in smoothies. Freeze grapes and run under lukewarm water to peel. Grapes go well with cheese and crackers too.

Nutrition Notes Grapes are rich in health-protecting antioxidants, including resveratrol and flavonoids. These are found mainly in the skin and seeds rather than the pulp. The amount of antioxidants varies with the variety with dark red and purple being higher. Antioxidants reduce or neutralize free radicals that damage cells.
