| Description | "Summer grape, Vitis aestivalis, is a species of grape native to the eastern United States. It is mostly eaten in the United States and Canada. The grapes are used for making wine, jam, and jelly, and are also eaten fresh. The ripe grapes have a dark blue to purple-black color, a thick skin, and contain seeds. They have a distinctive ""foxy"" or musky taste and a sweet, slightly tart flavor. The grapes have a sweet, fruity odor. Summer grapes are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, providing several health benefits, including reducing inflammation and improving heart health (PMID: 34110229). The most notable chemical in summer grapes is resveratrol, a polyphenol with anti-inflammatory properties (PMID: 24295671). Summer grapes have been used in traditional medicine for their antiseptic and antidiarrheal properties. A peculiar mode of preparation is using the grapes to make a traditional wine, where the grapes are fermented with their skins and seeds to produce a distinctive, full-bodied wine." | ||||||||||
