A grape is the fruit of a vine in the family Vitaceae. It is commonly used for making grape juice, jelly, wine, Grape seed oil and raisins, or can be eaten raw. Grapes are being extensively researched as a result of the "French Paradox". Despite the fact that the French eat substantially more animal fat compared with other Western countries, they have a significantly lower incidence of heart disease. Many scientists now believe the reason is the greater consumption of red wine in France. Photo credit: Bob Nichols, USDA |
