Nutrition Facts

Per 100g (raw grapes)

* % Daily Value based on a 2,000 kcal diet.


Quick summary: Grapes contain 69 calories per 100g and 104 calories per cup. They are rich in resveratrol, quercetin, and anthocyanins — polyphenols linked to heart health, reduced LDL oxidation, and potential longevity effects. Despite their high natural sugar content (15.5g/100g), grapes have a moderate glycemic index of ~53 due to organic acids that slow sugar absorption. Red and purple varieties offer greater antioxidant benefit than green grapes.

Grape Health Benefits & Nutrition

Resveratrol — the Longevity Compound

Grapes, particularly red and purple varieties, contain resveratrol — a polyphenol that activated significant research after studies in the 1990s linked moderate red wine consumption to reduced cardiovascular disease (the 'French Paradox'). Resveratrol activates SIRT1, a gene associated with longevity and metabolic health. While the amounts in whole grapes are modest (~0.2mg/100g), eating grapes regularly provides a meaningful contribution alongside other polyphenols.

Grapes and Heart Health

A diet rich in grapes and grape products is consistently associated with improved cardiovascular markers. Specific effects documented in clinical studies include reduced platelet aggregation (lower clot risk), improved LDL cholesterol quality, and better blood vessel elasticity. The anthocyanins in red and purple grapes appear to be the primary active compounds, while green grapes provide more catechins and quercetin.

Red vs Green vs Black Grapes — Nutritional Differences

Caloric differences between varieties are minor (65–74 kcal/100g range). However, antioxidant content varies substantially: red and black grapes contain anthocyanins (the pigments) which provide stronger antioxidant activity, while green grapes contain more catechins. For maximum health benefit, red or black grapes are preferable. All varieties provide similar amounts of potassium, vitamin K, and natural sugars.

Glycemic Index and Blood Sugar

Grapes have a moderate glycemic index of approximately 53. Despite high sugar content (15.5g/100g), the fructose and organic acids in grapes slow glucose absorption relative to simple sugar. That said, people with diabetes should consume grapes in moderate portions (½ cup) rather than large quantities. Frozen or fresh whole grapes have a lower glycemic impact than grape juice or raisins.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many calories in grapes?
Grapes contain 69 calories per 100g. A cup of grapes (151g) has 104 calories. A single grape (~5g) has about 3 calories. Use the slider above to calculate for any weight.
Are grapes good for weight loss?
In moderation. Grapes are higher in sugar than most berries (15.5g/100g), which can make portion control challenging. They are nutritious but calorie-dense relative to their volume. A ½ cup portion (52 calories) can be part of a weight-loss diet, but they're easier to overeat than low-sugar fruits like strawberries or watermelon.
Are grapes high in sugar?
Yes — grapes are among the higher-sugar common fruits at 15.5g per 100g. This is primarily fructose and glucose, not added sugar. The sugar is balanced by organic acids and polyphenols that moderate its metabolic impact. People monitoring blood sugar should stick to ½ cup portions.
Are grapes keto?
No. Grapes contain approximately 17.2g of net carbs per 100g, making them incompatible with strict keto. Even a small serving would use most or all of a typical keto daily carb allowance.
What is resveratrol in grapes?
Resveratrol is a polyphenol found primarily in grape skins, concentrated in red and black varieties. It has been studied for anti-aging, cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties. Whole grapes contain modest amounts (~0.2mg/100g); red wine concentrates this during fermentation, which partly explains research interest in the 'French Paradox'.
Are red grapes healthier than green grapes?
Red and black grapes contain more anthocyanins — the antioxidant pigments responsible for their colour — giving them higher overall antioxidant capacity than green grapes. Green grapes contain more catechins. Nutritionally both are similar in calories and basic nutrients. For maximum antioxidant benefit, choose red or purple varieties.
