Grapes: Boost health and energy

Smart snack choices deliver steady energy, healthful nutrition and boost enjoyment. When the busy fall months result in a life on the go, competing demands for time and attention make snacking more important.
Keeping healthy snacks such as grapes on hand makes getting it all done just a little easier. Fresh grapes are first and foremost delicious, but they also have several benefits:
• Portable. Just rinse, dry and put into a container or bag, or eat them right away.
• Shareable. Cut into enough smaller clusters for everyone to enjoy.
• No fuss. No need to peel, core or remove seeds.
• Refreshing. Natural juiciness helps satisfy thirst.
• Versatile. A tasty snack partner with cheese, nuts or other fruit.
• Healthy. Just 90 calories per 3/4 cup serving, no fat, no cholesterol and virtually no sodium.
