If you think the grapes are just a boring part of the lunch box, it may be time to think again. The Marks & Spencer has released a variety of limited edition, which is already being talked about as another big superfruit.
The so -called “boomites Red Berry” grapes can look like your standard plump, purple black grapes on the outside, but bite them and discover a bright deep red flesh, more like a berry or cherry.
It is the result of a natural cross between the sweet table grapes and the nutrient -rich red wine grapes. The idea was to bring together a juicy table grape taste with high wine grape nutritional profiles, which are usually too bitter.
This combination of taste and nutrition is why they are taxed as “superfruit” – fruits, naturally abundant antioxidants and nutrients associated with heart health benefits, immunity and more.
The grapes can be purchased for a limited time of M&S and Ocado and costs £ 3 box.
So what are they different and how can they be good for your health? We asked the nutritionist to tell more.
It will only be on the shelves for a limited time. (Marks and Spencer).
What are the potential health benefits of Boomites?
Although regular grapes have a white pulp, Boombs have a bright deep red center. This color is made of anthocyanins, this type of polyphenol (plant chemicals), and is also found in blueberries and cranberries. These compounds act as antioxidants to help protect cells, reduce inflammation and maintain long -term health.
Nichola Ludlam-Raine, Diettian and Red Berry Grape Advisory Council, says Yahoo UK, why otherwise these unique grapes can be good for us:
Packed with antioxidants
Boomites pack three times more resveratrol than bruises. These are grape skin associated with cell protection, antioxidant, soothes inflammation and increases heart health.
“This compound … is one of the reasons why we think French people are often healthier than the UK people. Because of this resveratrol, which is found in grape skin, they have better heart health,” explains Ludlam-Raine.
Keep intestinal health and immunity
Much of the immune system is in the intestine, so what we eat plays a key role in how it works. “These grapes also help health in the intestine. They help intestinal lining … 70% of our immune system is in our intestine. It is related to mood, weight control, even skin health,” says Ludlam-Raine.
Help reduce inflammation
“Grapes help with inflammation and help keep our body status quo as they should,” explains Ludlam-Raine. This could help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and metabolic diseases.

Can reduce the long -term risk of illness
Antioxidants such as boomites could also protect against cell damage and help reduce the risk of cancer, she adds. “Antioxidants protect against cancer. Like the fiber protects against colon cancer, antioxidants can reduce the risk of cancer in general.”
How to eat boomites
Ludlam-Raine says there are many different ways to mix up in your daily dish or snacks.
-
Snack ideas: “Of course you can just enjoy them as snacks, but you can add them to things like oats overnight or porridge with yogurt and fruit.”
-
Smart combinations: A couple with walnuts, dark chocolate and popcorn. “It’s like 10x in your grapes because you have more polyphenols, more fiber and some healthy fat.”
-
Classic couples: Grapes and cheese remain a winning combination. For extra hose health, try kefir yogurt with grapes, nuts or seeds.
-
Add to the dishes: Bring to the salad to make sweetness, or freeze them like ice cubes in sparkling water.
For parents, grapes should always be quartered children under five to reduce the risk of choking. Ludlam-Raine says her own young children love them-not-one nervous eater who gives up on bruises.

Ludlam-Raine also emphasizes other fruits worth working on your weekly store:
-
Blueberries – “They are similar to the original superfruit and are widely available in a frozen format, so really accessible.”
-
Satsum (light peel) -“They are so versatile, you can just throw them in your bag. The nutrients are densely and widely accepted by children.”
