Health Facts

• Vitamin Powerhouse: Including vitamin C, vitamin K, thiamine, riboflavin, and vitamin B6.
• Nutritional Benefits: Scuppernongs are considered to be among the healthiest grapes due to their high levels of phenolic compounds and antioxidants, especially in the skins and seeds. The seeds contain potent antioxidants such as phenolics, while the skins are rich in polyphenols like resveratrol, ellagic acid, and quercetin, which offer anti-inflammatory and potential cancer-fighting benefits. Consuming the whole grape, including the skin and seeds, maximizes these health benefits by helping protect the body from free radical damage and supporting digestive health through their fiber content.
