Guest guest Posted May 1, 2001 Report Share Posted May 1, 2001 Grapes are one of the most pesticides spayed fruits. Few years ago, 20/20 or Dateline had the segment on it. Eat organic one. Or, I believe there are fruit and veggie wash that you can use. Some of them I think can take out pesticides residue?? -- Yumi Guidotti yumig@...

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2001 Report Share Posted May 2, 2001 I saw the Grape Cure book by Johanna Brandt. I also looked up a page that suggested 24 oz concord grape juice in the morning and then lunch and dinner with no pork. I'm vegan and lately, more raw. I wonder if green grapes are as nutritionally beneficial.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hi Pat, I just use a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Separate all the grapes individually and lay them out in a layer. You can actually get a lot of grapes on one cookie sheet. Give them a couple of hours in the freezer and they will be ready to bag.

Guest guest Posted June 27, 2004 Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 June, I just flipped over here to look at the email and the first one I saw was you talking about you - some tings never change. LOL I love frozen grapes and like you, I sometimes don't even let them thaw. Pat Re: [ ] Grapes Hi Pat, I just use a cookie sheet lined with wax paper.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Hi Carole, Hope it is okay I jump in here. I just got a lot of yogurt free. I am really into double and triple coupons. Actually I got 60 containers free and didn't know what to do with it all. I called the company that makes it and they told me, it is not wise to free yogurt. My thought was it could be done because of frozen yogurt as ice cream. But they told me no, they do not recommend it. It could turn very watery. I ended up giving a lot of yogurt away which is fine, I do that a lot. I just thought this might help. Lynn MeMom carolegwyther wrote: > > > > I, too, eat a lot of grapes.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 http://www.my-grape-vine.com/blog/grapes-nutritional-value/ Grapes are one of the most popular fruits in the United States, ranking sixth behind bananas, apples, watermelons, oranges and cantaloupe. Regardless of whether or not you choose red or white (also known as green) grapes, there is good evidence that grapes are good for you. Just one cup of grapes which, depending on the size of the grapes, equates to about eighteen grapes or 100g, will give you one of the five servings of fruit and vegetables that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that you eat daily. Like most fruits, grapes are a rich source of vitamins and minerals that can contribute to a balanced, healthy diet. In particular, a single serving of grapes offers you 176 milligrams of potassium and 13 milligrams of calcium. Potassium and calcium are both important in transmitting nerve impulses and are therefore necessary to maintain efficient nervous system function. A serving of grapes will also provide you with 9 milligrams of phosphorus, which is an integral part of nucleic acids – the building blocks of genetic material. Magnesium is also present in grapes, with a cup of grapes containing 4.6mg. This mineral is important for muscle contractions. There are trace amounts of iron and selenium in a serve of grapes – approximately 0.4 milligrams and 0.3 milligrams, respectively. Small amounts of zinc, manganese and copper can also be found in grapes. You may have been advised to avoid fruits if you are on a diet, as they contain a lot of carbohydrates. This isn’t strictly true. A serving of grapes will set you and your diet back by about 69 calories – compare this to an equivalent weight of apple, which contains approximately 58 calories. Each 100g serving of grapes has 15.48 grams of sugar and a total of 18.1 grams of carbohydrate. Grapes are not particularly fatty – there’s 0.054 grams of saturated fat, 0.007 grams of mono-unsaturated fatty acids and 0.048 grams of polyunsaturated fatty acids. The great news for those watching their cholesterol intake is that grapes are totally free of cholesterol. Grapes also offer approximately a gram of protein and 1.6 grams of dietary fiber, which is important for maintaining good digestive health. One of the greatest advantages of fruits and vegetables is the high quantity of vitamins and minerals they contain. Grapes offer 10.8 milligrams of vitamin C and 92 international units of vitamin A. There’s about 0.19 milligrams of vitamin E in a regular serving of grapes, and 14.6 micrograms of vitamin K, which is essential for normative blood clotting. Grapes contain a good concentration of B vitamins; there’s 0.086 mg of vitamin B6, 0.07 milligrams of riboflavin (B2), 0.188 milligrams of niacin (B3) and 0.05 milligrams of pantothenic acid (B5). These B vitamins are critical to maintaining optimum cellular function, particularly in the metabolism of energy. You can obtain 3.6 micrograms of folate by eating a serve of grapes – this is important if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Grapes are also rich in antioxidants such as anthocyanins, flavones, geraniol, linalol, nerol and tannins. It is these antioxidants that scientists believe are responsible for protecting the body against many forms of cancer. Red grapes, in particular, contain a compound called resveratol, which has been demonstrated to reduce cholesterol and protect the heart. Fresh grape skin contains between 50 to 100 micrograms of resveratol per gram, depending on the variety of grape. Both red and white wine contains resveratol, with red wine having a higher concentration because both the skins and grape flesh is fermented to produce the wine. Resveratol, obtained from the grapes used to make wine, is thought to be responsible for the keeping the incidence of heart disease in France low, despite the relatively high concentrations of animal fats found in the typical French diet. The antioxidant helps to lower the levels of cholesterol circulating in the body and hence reduces cholesterol deposition in the arteries. There is good evidence that regular consumption of red wine – approximately three or four glasses interspersed over a one-week period can have positive cardiac benefits. Grapes can be dried to produce raisins, sultanas or currants. The dried versions of grapes also confer nutritional benefits. In particular, raisins have been shown to contain high quantities of boron, which is a mineral that has an important role in maintaining good bone health. Raisins also promote healthy gums and teeth, and can help to prevent against macular degeneration. After researching the nutritional value of grapes, one wonders if the story of Johanna Brandt, and how she cured her stomach cancer isn’t true after all.

Have a healthy grape day my friend! http://www.my-grape-vine.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
