"While eating grapes on New Year's Eve is thought to grant wishes, it would be wiser for those who want to improve their health to eat them every day rather than just on December 31.Whole, juiced, raisin- or seed-filled grapes are considered a ""superfood"" because of their heart- and brain-healthy benefits. For instance, components in grapes have been demonstrated in clinical testing to help decrease cholesterol. Grapes may also benefit liver and vision health.
The fruit is high in copper and manganese as well as a number of minerals, including vitamins A, C, D, E, K, B-1, B-2, and B-6. Potassium, which is present in raisins and grapes, helps lower blood pressure. A medium-sized banana provides less potassium than half a cup of raisins. Resveratrol is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound found in high concentrations in red and white grapes, as well as in the juice and wine produced from them."
