Recipes with Grape: Grape Juice Chai with Cardamom, Ginger, Turmeric
Grapes quench thirst, moisten tissues and increase metabolism. They are unique because most foods that increase metabolism cause dryness. And, most foods that moisten tissues depress metabolism. Grapes are easy to digest, providing instant energy. They are helpful for patients recovering from illness or surgery and those who are overworking mentally or physically.

Grapes are sweet and slightly sour, making them useful as a liver tonic, and are a restorative for many hot Pitta and dry Vata conditions. They nourish the blood and calm inflammation. As a blood tonic, they are useful for women during menstruation, pregnancy, post-partum, or breast feeding. Grapes has been suggested as a remedy for low white blood cell count. They are a muscle tonic, a bone tonic, and increase fertility in both men and women.

Their sour taste and mild nervine quality calms an overworked, irritable, burnt out, or confused mind. Their ability to calm the mind and cool the liver makes grapes especially useful for heat in the eyes, eye strain or tension, and insomnia. Purple or red grapes contain more beta carotene and are especially useful for the eyes. Grapes help mitigate the effects of alcohol. Their moistening quality helps reduce dry rashes & prevent liver spots.

Grapes contain resveratrol, a chemical that has been shown to increased lifespan in mice, and reduce the risk of heart disease. Medical research on Concord grapes show potential benefits in cancer prevention, platelet aggregation, atherosclerosis, and hypertension. They help to prevent loss of physical performance or mental acuity due to aging.

Their high fiber content is useful for constipation. Grapes are high in sugar, iron, pectins, bioflavanoids and phenols. The high sugar content of grapes makes them unsuitable for diabetics. Although grapes quench thirst, they are also a diuretic.

About Grape

Grapes are considered a superior fruit to all others in Ayurvedic. They are an important tonic (rasayana) for late summer. Grapes have been a sign of abundance since Greek times. The Greek God or agriculture, Dionysus, is often portrayed with a crown of grape leaves and wine, "the fruit of the vine". Grapes play an important role in many religions as well, especially Christianity, where wine is used in the Last Supper and also symbolizes the blood of Christ. Cultivation of grapes began in the near east aroudn 6-8,000 B.C.

Buying & Preparation

Buy organic grapes only. Conventional grapes require heavy pesticide use, especially seedless grapes. Seedless grapes are promulgated by cuttings, resulting in a mono crop with less genetic diversity. The high sugar content of grapes, together with low genetic diversity makes grapes vulnerable to pests.

Cooking Grape

Grapes can be eaten raw or made into juice, jams, jellies, raisins, wine and vinegar. Grape seeds have important health benefits and should be eaten.

AYURVEDA'S GUIDE TO VITALITY & WHOLESOME NOURISHMENT

Your Ayurvedic diet is tailored to your individual body and your specific imbalances. With an Ayurvedic diet you feel joy and satisfaction because what you are eating truly nourishes and balances you. Disease results from diets and lifestyles that are incompatible with your nature. By eating a personalized diet matched to your body, you experience optimal health. See How it Works.

Metabolic Nature of Grape

See a complete list of all biocharacteristics.

METABOLIC NATURE

Metabolic Nature

Ayurveda assesses metabolic imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics (gunas). Aggravating them weakens your body and causes imbalance. By knowing which biocharacteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct metabolic imbalances before you get sick. Every biocharacteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold). You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite biocharacteristic.

TASTES

The 6 Tastes

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food. Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body. Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food. Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods. Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion. Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste. One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes. The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent. Do you crave foods with any of the tastes below?

DOSHAS

The Three Doshas / Body Types

Ayurveda is a metabolic theory of medicine that explains individual health, tendencies, and disease patterns through the concept of doshas, which can be understood as your metabolic patterns and tendencies.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.

Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.

Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.

The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).

Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.

Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.

HOW DOES EATING AYURVEDICALLY MAKE YOU FEEL?

Eating Ayurvedically makes you feel nourished and energized. Food digests with ease when right for your body type (dosha). Healthy digestion is seen as the cornerstone of well-being in Ayurveda. Healthy digestion generally prevents illness. If you do get sick, a strong digestive fire reduces the severity of illness and increases your resilience. It also improves your mood. Once you begin eating Ayurvedically, you will feel refreshed, vital and strong.

“Both green and red/purple grapes have very similar qualities. The darker grapes can be slightly more sour and less drying, in my experience. This is a great chance to experiment with the grapes available in your area and notice what differences you experience!"
