This question may seem superfluous  as the grape seeds can simply be eaten with the grapes.

But there are also other ways to benefit from the benefits of grape seeds. Grape seed extract or capsules are available in health food stores and health food stores. 

You can also wash the seeds of the grapes well and then dry them to use them in smoothies or fruit juices (whole or ground).

Another option is to soak the kernels in water for 24 hours to activate them  and make it easier for the active ingredients to be absorbed.

Don’t forget to chew the grape seeds well as they are difficult to digest. The recommended daily dose is 300 mg (if you take capsules).

There are no side effects. Grapes are a perfect snack that can replace confectionery very well. This is also highly recommended for children. This way you can prevent them from eating too much sweet things, while at the same time enjoying the benefits of these delicious fruits.

Interesting facts about the grape (seed) diet

Since grapes are characterized by numerous health benefits  and they can also support weight loss, they  are used by many for a one-day detoxification of the organism.

For this you need  1 kg of dark grapes (the darkest variety you can find, because there are differences here, too)  and you can start with this detox and weight loss.

Grape diet

• This diet only lasts for 24 hours , it should not be followed for  longer. After that, allow at least 2 months to pass  before repeating the diet again.

• Consume 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil on an empty stomach. Then you drink a mixture of lukewarm water with a squirt of lemon juice.
• Do not forget that you cannot combine the grapes with other foods. You always have to wait 20 minutes after consuming them for these to be digested. Otherwise the fructose ferments in the stomach and can lead to discomfort, flatulence and indigestion.
• You can, however, eat the grapes together with other types of fruit, but we advise you not to do so, as this will not allow you to fully benefit from the advantages of the grapes.
• Chew the grape seeds well!
• After the olive oil and lemon water, you should wait 10 minutes before you eat the first cup of fresh grapes.
• After two hours, it’s the turn of the next cup of grapes. In the meantime, you should drink plenty of water.

• For lunch (2 hours after the grape snack) it is best to choose steamed vegetables with whole grain rice.
• Then eat a cup of grapes every 2 hours. For dinner you can have a vegetable soup,  fried fish and a green leaf salad with a little olive oil and lemon.
• Two hours before  bedtime, you eat the last cup of grapes. 

This diet is highly recommended because it  helps break down fat and fluid deposits. In particular, you can benefit from the advantages of grape seeds, which – as already explained – contain numerous valuable active ingredients.
