Grapes are high in a number of powerful antioxidant compounds. In fact, over 1,600 beneficial plant compounds have been identified in this fruit.
The highest concentration of antioxidants is found in the skin and seeds. For this reason, most of the research on grapes has been done using seed or skin extracts.
Red grapes contain higher numbers of antioxidants due to the anthocyanins that give them their color.
The antioxidants in grapes remain present even after fermentation, which is why red wine is also high in these compounds.
