Grape

A grape is a small, round or oval fruit that grows in clusters on the perennial and deciduous woody vines of the genus Vitis, which is native to the Mediterranean and Central Asia. Grapes can be eaten fresh, used for making wine, jam, juice, jelly, grape seed oil, raisins, and grape seed extract. The cultivation of grapes began thousands of years ago, and they have long been valued for their versatility and nutritional benefits. In Hebrew, grape is called ענב (pronounced anav). In other relevant languages, grape is known as uva in Spanish, raisin in French, traube in German, and uva in Italian and Portuguese. Grapes are a non-climacteric fruit, generally occurring in clusters, and can be green, red, purple, or black. They are typically sweet, and can be seedless or contain one to four seeds, depending on the cultivar.
