Grapes are regarded in many cultures as ‘the queen of fruits’. These tiny berries are the storehouse of polyphenolic phytochemical compound ‘resveratrol’, which is one of the powerful anti-oxidants found to play a protective role against cancers of colon and prostate, coronary heart disease.

Continued research also found that resveratrol works on the body in two ways to significantly assist with weight loss efforts.
