Fresh grape seeds can be directly chewed and swallowed, and many people take it for granted that chewing and swallowing will have a good effect. This statement is not wrong to some extent, but grape seeds are bitter and astringent after chewing, which is a bit difficult to swallow, because the shell of grape seeds is very hard, which is not easy to be digested by the stomach and intestines, and is generally excreted directly with the stool.

It's not good to chew, especially when it is in sharp contrast with grape pulp, which makes you want to spit it out directly. In addition, grape seed is not only proanthocyanidins, but also contains many other impurities, which will have some side effects on the body, so chewing is not the best way.

The correct way to take it

Squeezing fresh whole grapes into juice means squeezing grape skins and seeds into juice and drinking it directly.

You can wash the collected grape seeds, dry them, smash them with a hammer, pick out the hard shell of the seeds and eat the rest. When you hit it, smash it as much as possible and carefully pick out the hard shell. I think it's more laborious to use a hammer, or I can just put the dried grape seeds into a blender and grind them. Also pick out the hard shell of grape seeds.

You can also grind dried grape seeds into fine powder (you can go to a special grinding place), which is more convenient to drink with water and easy to absorb. If there are many grape seeds, it can be made into grape seed oil, which can give full play to the nutrition of grape seeds. The content of linoleic acid and proanthocyanidins in grape seed oil is high, which is easily absorbed by human body.
