Take it from an ex-grape fanatic/abuser: grapes are awesome. I used to eat 2 lbs each day and never tire of them. And at that point, I didn’t even know all of the cool facts about grapes. Cool facts you’re about to learn:

1. They explode in the microwave.

Yeah, this is somehow true. Science explains it; a discipline I don’t really f with. Who cares about particulars when grapes are exploding, though?

2. Raisins (dried grapes) contain just 15% water.

Imagine those nasty lil’ shriveled up thang thangs. (Sorry raisin lovers.) BONUS FACT: It takes more than 4 tons of grapes to produce 1 ton of raisins.

3. Grapes are 80% Water

HYDRATE.

4. Grapes are classed (in botanical terms) as berries.

When you tell someone this (berry true) fact I bet they’ll challenge you/laugh in your face and say, “No, it’s a fruit!” Really, dude? NO SHIT IT’S A FRUIT. It’s still a berry.

5. The average human consumes 3.6kg’s of grapes a year.

I know she’s eating watermelon not grapes, but I found this gif and it horrified me and I had to add it to this article somehow.

6. Grapes appear in many colors.
