India is a country of the season and every season brings something new and different which becomes its specialty.

The Glycemic Index of black grapes ranges from 43 to 53, a low to medium glycemic index food makes them a good snacking option for the diabetics.
Talking about its abundant benefits, you might be curious to know how many black grapes one should eat. 100 grams of black grapes contain 65 kcal and 18.5 g of carbohydrates. So if you are eating 100 g of black grapes, its glycemic load is 11 which means a medium range, and if you are Diabetic then you should not take more than it. Instead of eating alone, they can be mixed with yogurt or nuts which make them a complete meal and do not allow the sugar level to go up. Their natural sweetness enhances the flavor of the dish. Diabetic should not drink the juice of grapes.
In a nutshell, Black Grapes contain amazing nutrients good for overall health but the key to eating is moderation. Portion size is important while selecting and eating any sort of fruit. Anything in a low amount is good for your health but excess of that thing may poison you. So, if you are also having trouble or question in your mind how much to eat?
