Grapes

Sweet, juicy, refreshing grapes are something of a no-brainer for use in our juices and smoothies.Yet its not just their natural suitability for incorporating in our drinks that makes grapes a must have for our juicing regimen.- Grapes are bursting with antioxidant goodness and can help maintain a whole host of bodily functions.Much of the goodness of the grape is concentrated in its skin.Flavonoids and phytonutrients in the skin have been shown to be effective in inhibiting the damaging effects of LDL cholesterol.Consuming grapes also increased the level of nitric oxide in the blood, preventing the formation of blood clots - and therefore lowering the risk of heart trouble.In general the darker the grape's skin the higher the concentration of these beneficial properties - make sure you opt for red or 'purple' grapes if you can find them.Juices Featuring GrapesJuice #1 Juice #2 Juice #3 Juice #4All Juices
