Can grape skin be eaten? The truth is this

Grapes are a common fruit in daily life and are loved by people because of their sweet and sour taste. But can the grape skin be eaten? This problem has always bothered people because grape skin is really difficult to peel. In fact, grape skin is edible. It is rich in anthocyanins, which can protect people's cardiovascular health, but it must be washed thoroughly before eating.

1. Can the skin of grapes be eaten? The skin of grapes is edible. The skin of grapes is tighter than that of grapes. It is very tightly connected to the grape flesh and is not as easy to peel as grapes. Therefore, when we eat grapes, in order to save trouble, we often eat them with the skin. At the same time, eating grape peels is a good time to supplement nutrition. Grape peels are rich in anthocyanins, which are substances with strong antioxidant properties. They can protect our cardiovascular health, resist aging, and have good health benefits for the body.

However, eating grape peels also has some side effects. The biggest trouble is of course the pesticide residues on the peel. Modern fruit cultivation uses pesticides, and the pesticides are likely to remain on the fruit. The pesticide residues on the surface of the peel are harmful if we eat them. Therefore, you must wash the grapes before eating them. Wash the grapes with salt water or flour to ensure that the harmful substances on the surface of the peel are completely removed. Otherwise, eating grape peels will only cause damage to your health.

Another bad thing about grape skins is tannic acid, which combines with protein to form tannic acid protein, which is difficult to digest and may cause constipation. If you eat too much, it may cause discomfort, but there is no problem if you eat it in moderation.  

2. How to wash grapes cleanly? We mentioned above that the most important thing to solve when eating grape skins is to wash the grapes cleanly, because pesticide residues will adhere to the grape skins. If we eat them, the harm to the body will be obvious, so it is important to wash them clean! How can you wash grapes really clean?

First of all, before washing the grapes, you should use scissors to carefully cut the junction of the grape stem and the fruit. This will prevent the hard branches from piercing other grapes when washing and rubbing the grapes, and prevent sewage from contaminating the grape flesh.

Secondly, when washing grapes, it is best to add some flour or salt to soak and wash them, so as to remove bacteria and residual pesticides on the peel. The method is very simple. Add an appropriate amount of flour or salt to a basin of clean water, pour the grapes in, soak for a while, and then stir in one direction to wash them more cleanly.

After washing the grapes, there must be a lot of water on them. You might as well prepare a clean dry towel, place it under a sieve, pour the grapes on it, about the thickness of a layer of grapes at a time, hold the sieve with both hands and shake it, so that the residual water can be washed away.
