🍇 What it is like
- Taste: sweet with a mild tang

- 🩸 Iron (supports blood health)
- 🌿 Fiber (helps digestion)
❤️ Possible health benefits
Research suggests they may help support:
- Blood sugar balance (mild effect)
- Heart health due to antioxidants
- Digestive health because of fiber
But they are not a treatment or cure for diseases.
🍽️ How people eat them
