I love grapes, they are my favourite fruits.  I could sit down happily eating bunches of grapes.  I particularly love the dark ones.  I find them the most  succulent.

……………………

Here is an easy to make grape juice face cream.

a handful of grapes

1 tbsp double cream

1/2 tsp lemon juice

To make:

Crush the grapes with a fork and then press them though a sieve to extract a tablespoonful of juice.

Add the double cream to the juice, beat them together to form a light, fluffy cream.

Add the lemon juice gradually, mixing it thoroughly.

Apply to the face and neck and leave for 10 minutes.

Rinse off with warm water.

My favourite fruit of all is the grape.  I especially love the red/black ones.  I find them juiciest, succulent and sweetest.

Did you know?

Since the earliest time, grapes have been dried and made into raisins.

Grapes are rich in minerals such as Iron (Fe), Selenium (Se), Potassium (K) and Zinc (Zn)

Selenium is an important anti-aging nutrient.

Etiquette of eating seeded grapes:

GRAPES  should be eaten one by one, and the pits allowed to fall noiselessly into the half-closed hand and then transferred to the plate.

 

Did you know?  Green grapes are the grapes of wrath of many at the London Underground.  According to statistics collated by  Transport for London, green grapes cause more accidents at the station than banana skin?

 

How to store grapes?

For longer life, store them in the fridge. When ready to be eaten, remove from the fridge and allow to return back to room temperature for fuller flavour.

 

Grapes is the fruit used to produce wine.  They are grown in a vineyard.
