Grapes
Health Benefits
Grapes are packed with antioxidants, which protect cells from damage. Grapes also contain vitamin C, which supports the immune system, vitamin K, which is important for blood clotting and bone health, and several B vitamins, which are crucial for metabolism functions.
Cooking Methods
Grapes are good to be enjoyed raw or cooked. Raw grapes can be eaten as is, or added to recipes such as salads, fruit bowls, and more. Grapes are great to make jam or jelly! Grapes can be dehydrated in the oven by slicing the grapes and baking on low heat (140-160 degrees F) until chewy like a raisin.
Seasonings
Grapes may not always need seasoning, unless called for in a recipe. If looking for something new, try cinnamon, nutmeg, or sugar.
Storage & Preservation
Grapes are best kept in the refrigerator. Try to avoid washing grapes ahead of time because moisture can speed up mold growth. Grapes can last for 1-2 weeks in the fridge. You can freeze grapes by removing from the stem, washing, and drying completely. Freeze in a single layer on a baking tray, then you can transfer to a bag.
