Heard it Through the Grapevine
Ellie Krieger (MS '95) celebrates grapes from California. It's a natural partnership between Krieger and the California Table Grape Commission who teamed up to talk about grapes from California as "The Original Super Snack."
A decade's worth of research suggests that grapes may offer numerous health benefits. Grapes of every color contain a variety of antioxidants and other polyphenols, natural components in grapes that may contribute to a healthy heart. The strong health story of grapes, combined with their portability and versatility, make grapes a smart choice for healthy snacking.
