"Grapes are a food people naturally love," said Patricia. "They're portable, and they fit an on-the-go lifestyle—not to mention they're delicious. Grapes from California are sweet and satisfying on their own, but I also like to cook with them for a punch of color, texture and added nutrition."
Patricia stars in a just-released video featuring new recipes that demonstrate just how easy it is to mix grapes into everyday dishes for a boost in flavor and health. Along with her favorite tips for eating well, she demonstrates these three new and unique grape recipes:
- Grilled Salmon Tacos with Grape Pico de Gallo
- Banh Mi-Style Flatbread with California Grapes
- Grape, Feta, and Mint Quinoa Salad
One of Patricia's tips: Never make a salad without mixing in fresh, seasonal fruit. Grapes are her go-to choice for any salad, but she says they are particularly good in her Grape, Feta, and Mint Quinoa Salad.
Grapes of every color contain a variety of antioxidants and other polyphenols and natural components that may contribute to a healthy heart. And, with just 90 calories, no fat, no cholesterol and virtually no sodium in a ¾ cup serving of grapes, you can feel good about mixing grapes into just about any dish or eating them one by one. Apart from being a natural source of beneficial antioxidants, grapes also contain potassium and are a good source of vitamin K, which plays a role in helping blood to clot.
