Grapes with fresh and dense colors are not the sweetest! Nutritionists expose purchasing skills and eating sequence

Grapes are fruits that many people like. Choosing, cleaning and eating methods will actually affect the sweetness and freshness of grapes. Japanese nutritionists and Hanbuli share three tips to teach you how to choose sweeter grapes, correct methods for preservation and cleaning, and the best order of consumption. Characteristics of

Sweet grapes: There must be a gap between the grains and the grains

When buying grapes, are you often attracted by those grapes with colorful and densely arranged fruity grains? In fact, from the perspective of sweetness and freshness, such grapes are not the best choice.

During the growth process, grapes will increase their sweetness by absorbing sunlight. When there are a little gap between the fruit grains, each grape can be exposed to sunlight on average, so it is more likely to become sweet. On the contrary, if the fruit grains are tightly clumped together, the grapes in the middle may be less sweet due to insufficient sunlight.

In addition, a layer of white powder commonly seen on the surface of grape skin is actually a natural worm called "Bloom", which comes from the fat secreted by grape fruit itself. It can help prevent bacteria and retain moisture, and is an important indicator of fresh and healthy grapes. Therefore, grapes with fruit powder and slightly gaps between the fruit grains are more worth buying.

Wash the grapes before eating, instead of washing them when they are bought back, the second key is the cleaning machine. Some people will wash and store immediately after purchasing grapes, but this is not recommended. The reason is: contacting moisture will make grapes more susceptible to rot.

At the same time, the powder on the peel is very important to prevent diseases and dryness. Early cleaning will cause the grapes to lose this layer of natural protective film. Therefore, it is recommended to clean it before consumption.

The cleaning method is as follows:

‧Whole bunch of grapes: Put it in a basin filled with water and shake it gently under running water.

‧Soak and wash: Put the grapes in the basin, keep the water flowing in the dragon head, and leave it calm for about 2 to 3 minutes.

‧Skin-edible grapes: Clean more carefully when necessary.

‧After cleaning: put the grapes into the filter network and dry them, and use a kitchen towel to gently press and absorb moisture, which can retain the best flavor.

The best order for eating grapes: From bottom to top

The third trick is the order of consumption. During the ripening process, the upper fruit particles near the branches absorb sunlight more easily than the fruit particles below, so they are usually sweeter.

If you want to maintain a pleasant taste from the first bite to the last bite, it is recommended to start from the bottom of the grape bunches and then eat up so that the more you eat the sweeter the taste. Nutrition and efficacy of grapes

The main components of grapes are fructose and glucose, which are sugars that can be quickly absorbed by humans and can be converted into energy immediately. Therefore, grapes are very suitable for people who replenish energy during sports, prevent fatigue in hot summers, and need to quickly recover their energy. However, due to the high sugar content, it is recommended to consume it in moderation, especially for people who need blood sugar management.
