Besides providing juice that ferments into that sybaritic beverage, wine, grapes contribute to nutrition on their own account. They are a good source of the B vitamins which are vital to the well being of the nervous system and necessary for the production of energy. They are also High in vitamin A, an aid to good appetite and normal digestion, development of healthy bones, teeth, and skin, and helpful against infections and the effects of stress; and in potassium, essential for activating enzymes for muscles contractions and for changing sugar to energy and a help against high blood pressure, low blood sugar, and water retention. The pulp of the grape is largely fructose and glucose, sugars readily assimilated by the body, making grapes an easily digested source of energy.
