Grapes are multifarious fruits used in a large range of popular foods — from raisins to jelly to wine. They are also packed with nutrients and antioxidants and have high amounts of phytonutrient resveratrol, which is good for the heart, according to some studies. In fact, while grapes are good for your overall health, they are especially lauded for their heart benefits.
Grape growing (also called viticulture) is as old as civilization, according to the University of Missouri. Archaeologists have evidence of grape growing as far back as 6500 B.C. in what are now Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. Grapes and wine were important in dining and social rituals in ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. Several species of grapes are native to the Americas, most notably the Concord grape.
Grapes are berries that grow on a vine. Because of their versatility, variety, and portability, grapes are popular all over the world. More than 72 million tons of grapes are grown annually around the globe — more than bananas, oranges, or apples. Only 12 percent of that number goes toward table grapes (grapes grown to be eaten fresh), however. The majority of grapes are turned into wine, according to the University of Missouri Division of Plant Sciences.
