Seeded grapes are the most traditional and sought after varieties in Mediterranean countries. 

As well as having all the preventive properties of grapes, the properties of the seeds themselves are of particular relevance in these varieties. They have nutritional, antioxidant and anticancerogenic properties, as well as important advantages for the treatment of venous insufficiency and other types of swelling.

The nutrients in the grape’s seeds protect against heart disease, cancer, inflammation and other health issues.

Grape contains flavonoids, which can have antioxidant effects, lower the levels of low density lipoproteins (LDLs, or “bad cholesterol”), relax blood vessels, and reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. The antioxidants in grape might help to prevent heart disease and have other potentially beneficial effects. Red grape varieties provide more antioxidants than white or blush grape varieties.

Grape leaf might reduce inflammation and have astringent effects. In other words, grape leaf seems to be able to draw tissue together, which could help stop bleeding and diarrhea. These properties appear to be greatest in the red leaves.

Grapes come in different types – green, red, blue, and black. All varieties contain similar beneficial compounds. Of these, the darker variants seem to be more beneficial.

Black grapes are comparatively richer in antioxidants. They contain fiber too. Their skin is rich in phenolic acids, like caffeic acid.

These compounds are responsible for the fruit’s anti-inflammatory, anticancer, cardioprotective, and antidiabetic properties

The most important compound in black grapes (and grapes, in general) is resveratrol. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant that is extensively studied. Research states that it can fight inflammation, prevent heart disease, and even combat tumors 

The best way to enjoy the benefits of black grapes is to eat them as a whole (or even by consuming whole-grape products). The beneficial constituents in such whole-grape products can enhance the overall results

Along with cantaloupe, honeydew, and cucumber, watermelons are a member of the Cucurbitaceae family.

There are five common types of watermelon: seeded, seedless, mini, yellow, and orange.

Watermelon is around 90% water, which makes it useful for staying hydrated in the summer. It can also satisfy a sweet tooth with its natural sugars.

Watermelon also contains antioxidants. These substances can help remove molecules known as free radicals, or reactive species, from the body. The body produces free radicals during natural processes, such as metabolism. They can also develop through smoking, air pollution, stress, and other environmental pressures.

If too many free radicals stay in the body, oxidative stress can occur. This can result in cell damage and may lead to a range of diseases, such as cancer and heart disease.

The body can remove some free radicals naturally, but dietary antioxidants support this process.

According to some this variety arrived in the area through trades with America at the beginning of the century, when, exporting lemons, the tradesmen purchased the seed.

The cultivation of this variety became common in other Vesuvian towns where the product though does not have the same organoleptic characteristics.

With a bright red exterior it's commonly used in juices, cocktails, syrups, jams, and candies for its refreshingly sweet taste.

Prickly pear cactus — or also known as nopal, opuntia and other names — is promoted for treating diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity and hangovers. It's also touted for its antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.

Some preliminary evidence shows that prickly pear cactus can decrease blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Some research also suggests that prickly pear cactus extract may lessen the unpleasant effects of a hangover, possibly due to its anti-inflammatory effects.

It might be too early to call prickly pear cactus a superfood, but it can be part of a healthy diet. It's high in fiber, antioxidants and carotenoids. Indeed, prickly pear cactus is popular in many areas of the world, particularly Latin America, where it is a native plant.

The edible parts are the leaves, flowers, stems and fruit. Prickly pear cactus is eaten whole (boiled or grilled). It is also made into juice and jams.
