Grapes are probably the oldest cultivated fruit. They are found in Egyptian tombs, Western Asia and Europe. Grapes have more than 10,000 varieties.
The Phoenicians took grapevines from Asia to Greece around 1000 BC. The Mediterranean climate suited grapes, so it started spreading throughout the Mediterranean region. The European grapes were brought to America by the Spaniards and the Portuguese.
In 1700, the Spaniards introduced grape cultivation to California. California produces nearly 90% of total crop in America.
Grapes are very nutritious! Next time you buy grapes or grape juice, just remember how good they are for your health!
