[Function]

Grapes (Vitis vinifera) have been heralded for their medicinal and nutritional value for thousands of years. Egyptians ate grapes a very long time back, and several ancient Greek philosophers spoke about the healing power of grapes — usually in the form of wine. European folk healers made an ointment from the sap of grapevines to treat skin and eye diseases. Grape leaves were used to stop bleeding, inflammation, and pain, such as the kind brought on by hemorrhoids. Unripe grapes were used to treat sore throats, and dried grapes (raisins) were used for constipation and thirst. Round, ripe, sweet grapes were used to treat a range of health problems including cancer, cholera, smallpox, nausea, eye infections, and skin, kidney, and liver diseases.

Grape seed extracts are industrial derivatives from whole grape seeds that have a great concentration of vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid and phenolic OPCs. The typical commercial opportunity of extracting grape seed constituents has been for chemicals known as polyphenols having antioxidant activity in vitro.

What is Kodri?

Kodri (also known as Foxtail Millet, Varai, Varagu, Khododhan, Kodra, Kodon, or Paspalum scrobiculatum) is a couscous-like / rice-like grain which is commonly eaten in India (largely grown in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Madhya, Pradesh, Andhra, Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Bihar) – and it’s delicious!

You can buy it at many specialist Indian food shops, or you can order it online.

Nutritional properties of Kodri:

Here’s the wikipedia article on kodri: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paspalum_scrobiculatum which has some information about the nutritional properties of kodri including that: The grain is composed of around 9-11% protein, 10+% fibre, 66.6% carbohydrates and around 3.6% fat. The rest is other micronutrients like iron, (0.5/100 mg),calcium and polyphenols.

I found this interesting article on kodri being potentially anti-diabetic / helpful in diabetes, from the Times of India newspaper – https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/science/Kodo-millet-helps-keep-diabetes-under-check/articleshow/25574439.cms
