About Uva

Uva, commonly known as grapes, is a small, sweet fruit that has been cultivated for thousands of years and originates from the Mediterranean region. Grapes are versatile and commonly enjoyed fresh, dried (as raisins), or processed into products such as wine and juice. They are low in calories (69 per 100 grams) and fats, rich in carbohydrates, and provide essential vitamins and minerals. Grapes are particularly high in vitamin C (10.8 mg per 100 grams), which supports immunity, and contain minute amounts of calcium and iron. Their natural sugars make them an excellent energy-boosting snack while their hydration and fiber content support digestion.
