"Any parent will be familiar with the daily struggle that is getting your child to eat their five-a-day. But a new superfruit could make life a little easier - as it tastes like grapes but is packed with far more antioxidants. Called 'Boombites', they are 'grape on the outside, red berry on the inside' and boast a cherry-like dark red pulp. This rich red colour means they contain high levels of anthocyanins - the same plant pigments that give goji and cranberries their 'superfood' status."
"The fruit, which initially hails from the Mediterranean, has been cultivated by innovators in Spain. On the vine they look like standard black grapes, but once bitten into they reveal a dark red pulp. Those behind the product say it combines 'all that is wonderful about classic grapes with the added benefits that come with the juicy red flesh inside'. 'We all know that eating plenty of fruit and vegetables is one of the cornerstones of good health,' dietitian and a member of the Red Berry Grape Advisory Board, Nichola Ludlam-Raine, said."
Red Berry Grapes, marketed as Boombites, combine a grape-like exterior with a cherry-like dark red pulp rich in anthocyanins. The red flesh delivers high pigment levels and reportedly triple the resveratrol content of blueberries, a compound linked to anti-aging and cancer prevention. University of Murcia testing indicates the grapes’ natural sugars may be absorbed more slowly, which could benefit blood sugar levels, weight control, and insulin response. The variety originates from the Mediterranean and has been cultivated in Spain. Dietitians and medical advisors emphasize the fruit’s antioxidant advantages alongside general recommendations to eat plenty of fruit and vegetables.
