Grapes are a popular fruit from the Vitaceae family, native to the Near East. They are grown in clusters and come in various colors, including green, red, and purple. Grapes can be eaten fresh, dried to make raisins, or used to produce wine, juice, and jelly.

Nutritionally, grapes are a good source of vitamins C and K, antioxidants, and resveratrol, which promote heart health and may reduce cancer risk. Major grape-producing countries include Italy, France, the United States, and Spain, with India also being a significant producer, especially in states like Maharashtra and Karnataka. Grapes are enjoyed worldwide for their sweet flavor and versatility in culinary applications.
