When it comes to grapes, many people wonder, are seedless grapes healthy? The simple answer is yes (very!). Seedless grapes are packed with nutrients. Just like their seeded cousins, they’re a tasty and nutritious snack for all ages.
Health benefits of seedless grapes
Seedless grapes are full of vitamins C and K. These vitamins support a strong immune system and healthy bones. Healthline notes that grapes are rich in antioxidants that protect your body from free radical damage.
Free radicals are unstable molecules that your body creates naturally during processes like breathing or converting food into energy. You’re also exposed to them from things like pollution, smoking, and sunlight.
Because free radicals are unstable, they can damage cells, proteins, and DNA. This is known as oxidative stress or free radical damage.
Over time, free radical damage can:
-
Speed up ageing of your skin and body.
-
Increase the risk of diseases like heart disease, cancer, and diabetes.
-
Weaken the immune system.
How can grapes help?
Grapes, especially with their natural antioxidants (like vitamin C and polyphenols), help fight free radical damage. These antioxidants neutralise free radicals before they cause harm, protecting your body at a cellular level.
They’re also low in kilojoules and high in water. This makes them a refreshing, guilt-free snack. Their natural fibre helps with digestion and supports gut health. Regularly enjoying grapes may also promote heart health, according to the Heart Foundation.
What about seeded grapes?
You might wonder if seeded grapes are better for you. The seeds contain extra antioxidants, including beneficial plant compounds. But both seeded and seedless grapes offer similar health benefits overall. The choice often comes down to personal taste and convenience.
