| Which are better for you, red grapes or green grapes? I would like to know which are better for you, red grapes (seedless) or green grapes (also seedless). I wanted to buy my usual green grapes while shopping this morning and lovely DD told me I was crazy (the usual response) as red were on sale and there really wasn't any difference! I'm reluctantly eating the red ones right now for my afternoon snack and I must admit, they're not too bad, but I'd like to hear from all my "Disney Buddies" as to what they think are the better grapes, healthwise. Obviously, you all can see from my picture that I am "Pooh sized" and need to get down to at least "Tigger sized" so any input is appreciated!!!

| I think red are actually a little better for you. When I did LA Weight Loss they said to eat the red instead of the green if possible. I usually buy the green so I remember switching.

| I don't know which is better health wise but taste wise IMO red grapes are better, especially really cold from the fridge. And BTW - love your name too. It took me a couple of minutes to figure it out, but I did it.

| I didn't know there was much difference either. To me, grapes is grapes!  And I like to eat 'em frozen.

| My botany professor told us to always choose small, dark grapes (red or purple) for highest nutritional value and best flavor. He told us to always choose small produce, come to think of it...

| Well, they say one glass of red wine is good for the heart so I would think red grapes would be better for you. Just a guess.

| It is better to have fruit than candy, so 'whatever floats yer boat' -- as the good cap'n says... I think the darker the grape/juice/wine, the more bioflavinoids it has.

| Interesting thread. I always figured they were about the same as far as nutrition went - I always go for whichever is cheaper.
