In the component analysis of the four colors of grapes, purple grapes have the highest content of vitamin A and β-carotene, black grapes are slightly inferior and ranked second, and red grapes are at the bottom due to the lowest content. Therefore, those who often overuse their eyes or are prone to infection and illness, when eating grapes for health preservation, should consider purple grapes first!

Beauty lovers: Green grapes are preferred

When it comes to grapes, most women think of their beauty-enhancing effects, and one of the main keys is: vitamin C. Nutritionist Ni Manting said that the reason why vitamin C is often equated with beauty and skin care is that in addition to its antioxidant and whitening effects, vitamin C is also related to collagen synthesis. Collagen helps maintain skin elasticity and can also promote wound healing, burn recovery, and enhance resistance to stress from injury or infection.

In this PK battle of 4 colors of grapes, it can be found that green grapes have the highest vitamin C content, containing 5.3 mg per 100 grams, which is the champion in the grape world and has the highest beauty-enhancing effect. It is followed by purple grapes, black grapes and red grapes.

Grapes all contain vitamin E, and the content is ranked from most to least as follows: black grapes > green grapes > purple grapes > red grapes. Therefore, those who stay up late and want to supplement more vitamin E can give priority to eating black grapes.
