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.

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

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