Grapeseed Powder, 1/4 lb
Grape seed is just what it sounds like—the seed of grapes. Unlike the flesh of the fruit, grape seed has bitter qualities yet still imparts a low level of sweetness. Whole grape seed is the origin of grape seed oil, which is a by-product created during the process of making wine and now a popular cosmetic and cooking oil valued for its high smoke point. Grape seed is also an abundant source of nutrients, including flavonoids, linoleic acid, vitamin E and various antioxidant compounds, most notably resveratrol.
