Grape health benefits are mostly attributed to compounds called flavonoids (quercitin and reservatrol), which are phytochemicals that give the vibrant purple color to grapes, grape juice, and red wine; The stronger the color, the higher the concentration of the flavonoids.

Some of the health benefits attributed to grapes include:

• Protects LDL cholesterol from the free radical damage that initiates LDL's artery-damaging actions.

• Reduces platelet clumping and harmful blood clots.

• Helps keep the heart muscle flexible and healthy.

• Reduces the risk of hypertension-related death.

• Acts as a preventative agent in prostrate, lung, liver, and breast cancer.
