Grape 01

Grapes are typically an ellipsoid shape resembling a prolate spheroid.

Anthocyanins and other pigment chemicals of the larger family of polyphenols in purple grapes are responsible for the varying shades of purple in red wines

Mutations in two regulatory genes of white grapes turn off production of anthocyanins, which are responsible for the color of purple grapes

Grapes are a type of fruit that grow in clusters of 15 to 300, and can be crimson, black, dark blue, yellow, green, orange, and pink.

In North America, native grapes belonging to various species of the genus Vitis proliferate in the wild across the continent, and were a part of the diet of many Native Americans, but were considered by early

The growing of grapes would later spread to other regions in Europe, as well as North Africa, and eventually in North America.

Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics record the cultivation of purple grapes, and history attests to the ancient Greeks, Cypriots, Phoenicians, and Romans growing purple grapes both for eating and wine production

Thus it has been proposed that Syrah red wine is named after Shiraz, a city in Persia where the grape was used to make Shirazi wine

The cultivation of grapes began perhaps 8,000 years ago, and the fruit has been used as human food over history.

Grapes are a non-climacteric type of fruit, generally occurring in clusters.
