Let’s get extra vitamins by simply snacking on these sweet treats!

Vitamin A, Vitamin C! At my house, we simply get extra vitamins by snacking on grapes! After rinsing the grapes off, I lay them on a paper towel to dry. But before they are placed in the fridge…snacking begins! Every couple of minutes we keep stopping by the countertop to grab a few of them. This keeps happening for a while until we eat half of the grape bunch, then it’s finally time for them to go in the fridge!

Snacking on grapes, or any fruits and vegetables, are the best way to stay away from artificial, sugary snacks. Check out our article on how to boost your afternoons, simply by eating cucumbers!

You should store grapes in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Also, it’s good for you to know that the best way to eat grapes is when they are firmly attached to the stem. When I go to the grocery store, I take one grape off the bunch that I am about to buy to make sure they feel firmly attached to the stem. In addition, try getting organic grapes as they are part of the “dirty dozen“

For those who have small children, it’s recommended to cut a grape in half, or even in smaller pieces if they are younger than two years old. You should cut them lengthwise instead of widthwise so they can pass more easily through smaller throats.

Feel free to eat your grapes! They are fat-free and cholesterol-free. That is definitely a healthy snack that I recommend! So, let’s get extra vitamins by snacking on grapes! Besides its nutritional values, grapes are definitely a delicious option for those who enjoy a sweet treat!
