Natural Antioxidant and Vascular Protector
The cultivation of grapes dates back to the earliest days of the history of civilization. lt is believed that the plant originates from Asia Minor and was cultivated by the Egyptians and pressed by the ancient Greeks to make wine. The plants currently cultivated are the result of various crossings between varieties originally from Europe and North America carried out with a view to preserving the resistance, productivity, beauty and flavor of the fruits. Fresh grapes contain glycids, proteins, vitamins B1, B2, B5, B6 and PP, as well as provitamin A, mineral salts (especially potassium) and antioxidant antocyanins. Grapes act as a natural antioxidant and are recommended as a vascular protector in diets for the prevention of heart disease.
