Autumn is grape season! These sweet fruits are not only delicious but real powerhouses for our health. But when it comes to the question of whether red or green grapes are healthier, there's a surprising answer.
As the days get shorter and autumn sets in, grapes are in season. These small, sweet fruits are not only a popular snack but also real health boosters that strengthen our immune system and supply the body with important nutrients - read more on the health portal **24vita.de**.
Grapes: Small fruits, big impact
Grapes are packed with valuable ingredients that benefit our health. They contain plenty of vitamins (especially B1, B6, and niacin), which strengthen our immune system, and minerals like iron, potassium, and calcium. These are good for blood pressure, kidney function, bones, and oxygen supply in the blood.
A **study** suggests that consuming grapes can positively affect gut flora and also have positive effects on cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Particularly noteworthy are the antioxidants in grapes that protect our cells from harmful free radicals. Flavonoids can have a positive effect on heart health and even have anti-inflammatory properties. A **study** with older adults showed positive effects on eye health.
Moreover, the fruits provide quickly available energy in the form of natural fruit sugar - ideal for athletes or as a healthy snack in between.

Now is the best time for grapes
Autumn is the ideal time to benefit from the health benefits of grapes. The fruits are particularly sweet and aromatic now, as they have been ripening all summer. Whether as a snack in between, in muesli, or as an ingredient in autumn salads - grapes enrich our diet in a healthy and delicious way.
