On the way to Sivanasamudram from Bangalore, one can never miss a scenic view of grape gardens nicely farmed. There can hardly be a human being who cannot get tempted while seeing bunches of grapes hanging in these gardens. When it comes to grapes, we always think of different wines made from different breads of grapes, whereas a few important other qualities of grapes are that they are rich in moisture and sugar. With this quality and particularly being a seasonal fruit (available during January to April in India) serve as a thirst quenching agent and hence consumed raw or in the form of juices during summer particularly when on long journeys. By being rich in sugar, they also serve as an instant energy giving fruit by facilitating a quick transfer of sugar to the body.
