Grapes that boost vitality in the heat, can you eat the seeds too?

Grapes, which are effective for recovering from summer fatigue and easily exhausted by the heat, are in season.

<Benefits of Grapes>

Grapes contain a variety of nutrients including vitamin C, B1, B2, E, as well as calcium, potassium, and iron, which can serve as a 'natural comprehensive supplement' to boost vitality.

Especially, grapes are beneficial fruits for vascular health. The flavonoid components in grapes inhibit the formation of blood clots that block blood vessels, helping to prevent arteriosclerosis, heart disease, and stroke.

Resveratrol is also effective in washing away waste accumulated in blood vessels and in excreting bad cholesterol.

<Benefits and Precautions of Grape Seeds>

Grape seeds may simply be considered a bothersome part to remove, but they are just as nutritious as the flesh.

Grape seeds contain a high amount of polyphenols, which are antioxidants. Polyphenols help with cell regeneration, prevent aging, and improve skin elasticity.

Flavonoids found more abundantly in grape seeds than in the pulp are beneficial for brain health and have the effect of delaying the onset of degenerative neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.

However, grape seeds contain an enzyme inhibitor, so if digestive function is weak, it may cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, and excessive intake should be avoided.
