Muscadine Grapes in Nature's Pearl

2. WHAT IS MUSCADINE GRAPES?
A Muscadine is a grape. They are
different than most grapes in that they
do not grow in a bunch. They grow two
to three together on the vine, are thick-
skinned, pulpy, and have large seeds.
Their flavor is phenomenal, and their
aroma is heavenly.

3. Many of the phytonutrients present in the
muscadine grape have been recognized as
powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory
agents – the most powerful of these
concentrated in the skins and seeds

7.  Works as a sleep aid
 Powerful antioxidant
 Boosts immune system
 Helps lower cholesterol
 Potent anti-cancer properties
 Helps reduce blood pressure
 Defends against free radicals
 Anti-inflammatory components
 Longevity & anti-aging powers
 Healthy for heart and blood vessels
 Good for digestive & immune systems
 Has 10 times more reservatrol than typical red wine

8.  Muscadine grapes are an excellent source of dietary
fiber -- you’ll get about 105 calories and 7 grams of
fiber from a serving of 35 muscadines -according to
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
 It is particularly high in insoluble fiber, the kind that
promotes bowel regularity and helps prevent
constipation, hemorrhoids and diverticulitis
 a 104-calorie serving of seedless grapes -- about 30
grapes or 1 cup, according to the USDA -- provides 1.4
grams of fiber
This means that a single muscadine has as much fiber
as five seedless grapes!

9.  Muscadines are satiating because they’re rich in fiber and
mostly water by weight -- both fiber and water help fill
your stomach without contributing calories
 The soluble fiber in muscadine grapes delays gastric
emptying, which helps you feel fuller longer
 Eating muscadines -- or any other fresh fruit -- when you
crave something sweet can also help you avoid high-
calorie treats laden with added sugars
Consuming too many added sugars is associated with an
increased risk of obesity, high blood pressure and
unhealthy cholesterol levels, according to the American
Heart Association.

10.  Muscadine grapes contain substantial amounts of
antioxidants, the beneficial phytochemicals that help
protect cells from free-radical damage
 eating a diet based on whole, antioxidant-rich foods has
been shown to help reduce the risk of developing heart
disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and other chronic diseases
-according to the Harvard School of Public Health
 Muscadine grapes also contain twice as much vitamin C as
seedless grapes

11. A study published in the “Journal of Agricultural and
Food Chemistry” found that muscadines are a
particularly good source of ellagic acid.
>Ellagic acid appears to inhibit cancer cell reproduction-
according to the American Institute for Cancer
Research

16. The toast translates to…
"Through the vine! To life…“
Now it’s YOUR turn to testify!
