Does anyone take grape seeds when you are taking your grapes?
It seem like most of you will peel away the skin and spit out the seeds due to the tough and bitter taste.
What a lot of people do not know is Grape skin and seeds contain a lot of vitamins and antioxidants and we should make full use of it.
Here is an extract article from Wikipedia:
Since the 1980s, biochemical and medical studies have demonstrated significant antioxidant properties of grape seed oligomeric proanthocyanidins.Together with tannins, polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids, these seed constituents display inhibitory activities against several experimental disease models, including cancer, heart failure and other disorders of oxidative stress.
Grape seed oil from crushed seeds is used in cosmeceuticals and skincare products for many perceived health benefits. Grape seed oil is notable for its high contents of tocopherols (vitamin E), phytosterols, and polyunsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic acid, oleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid.
