They have been around for thousands of years and there's actually proof they existed during the Prehistoric Age! That's a long long time!
They are cultivated in many parts of the world and the US is one of the world's largest producers. And did you know the Concord variety is the only North American native?
Nutritionally, they are a good source of the following nutrients:
Vitamin C
Vitamin B6
Potassium
Manganese
And as you've probably heard,they are high in numerous antioxidants, which have been shown to:
help lower blood pressure
help lower cholesterol
help in the prevention of heart disease and certain cancers
