What it is
Red seedless grapes are a variety of the common grape (Vitis vinifera) that has been cultivated for its sweet taste and lack of seeds. They are grown on vines in temperate climates worldwide and are harvested when ripe. The grapes are then typically washed and sorted before being sold fresh or processed.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use red seedless grapes primarily for their natural sweetness and flavor. They are often found in fresh fruit mixes, fruit salads, and as a snack. They can also be used in juices, jams, and desserts.
Health notes
Red seedless grapes are a source of natural sugars, fiber, and various vitamins and antioxidants. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers grapes to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) when used as food. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) have evaluated grapes and found them safe for consumption. Research suggests that compounds found in grapes, like resveratrol, may have health benefits, but more studies are needed to confirm these effects in humans at typical dietary intakes.
Allergen info
Grapes are not one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. They do not contain gluten.
