Grape Leaves 750g
Grape leaves are packed with antioxidants (vitamins C, E, A, K, B6) and fiber, making them excellent for reducing inflammation, boosting heart health, and regulating blood sugar. They are commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine (e.g., dolmas) to wrap rice and meat mixtures, and can be used to keep pickles crisp.
Key Health and Culinary Benefits:
- Heart and Cardiovascular Health: Grape leaves are rich in antioxidants like polyphenols and flavonoids (resveratrol, quercetin) that reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. They are also low in sodium and high in potassium, promoting healthy blood pressure.
- Disease Prevention and Immunity: They are associated with controlling inflammation, managing chronic venous insufficiency (reducing leg edema), and providing essential nutrients like iron and vitamin C.
- Digestive Health: High dietary fiber content helps promote good gut health, improve digestion, and reduce constipation.
- Nutritional Density: They are very low in calories, fat, and cholesterol, while offering vitamins A, C, E, K, and B6, along with minerals like copper, calcium, and manganese.

Culinary Uses:
- Dolmas/Dolmades: Typically stuffed with mixtures of rice, herbs, onions, and sometimes ground meat.
- Pickling: Adding leaves to jars of pickles helps maintain their crispness due to natural tannins.
- Preparation: They can be used fresh or in jars, often blanched (2-3 minutes) for 2–3 minutes to make them pliable.
