Description: Grapes provide vitamin C, an antioxidant that may reduce your risk of heart disease and certain cancers. Vitamin C helps protect skin from bruising, helps heal cuts and keeps gums healthy. Eating foods with vitamin C helps the body absorb iron. Grapes also provide potassium and fiber. Potassium helps maintain healthy blood pressure, and fiber helps control cholesterol and keeps you regular.

Selection: Choose plump and firm grapes and are firmly attached to the stem.

Storing: Refrigerate grapes in a plastic bag for up to 1 week.
