Grapes

Grapes are an excellent source of potassium, which encourages an alkaline blood balance and also stimulates the kidneys and regulates heartbeat.  The restorative power of grapes is phenomenal, cleansing the liver and removing the uric acid from the body.  Grapes also contain a phytochemical that appears to protect each cell's DNA from damage. In France, many people go on a grape fast during harvest time.  Studies have shown a lower incidence of cancer in the areas of France where this grape fast is practiced yearly.

Choosing Grapes

Grapes are the most over-sprayed of all the fruits, which means you should always wash your grapes thoroughly.  Always look for a faint, powdery appearance, indicating blooming.  A grape bunch should have a few grapes either falling off or mushy.  The stems should not be shriveled, but green looking. Grapes keep for a week in the refrigerator.

Grape History

Grapes were cultivated 6,000 years ago in Europe. There are over 60 varieties of grapes that are cultivated for wine making and over 50 varieties are in current production as table grapes. Over 200 years ago, Franciscan monks brought grapes to California for the purpose of making sacramental wine. As the population grew, more grape varieties were introduced. 40 years later, the first vineyard for table grapes was planted.
