Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Grape Leaf
Metabolic Effect: Thanks to its fiber content, it regulates digestion and provides a feeling of fullness. It can support bowel movements and alleviate constipation. However, excessive consumption may cause bloating.
Consumption Recommendation: It is common to consume grape leaves in the form of olive oil wraps. You can make a healthier choice by paying attention to the rice ratio of the filling. You can increase its nutritional value by consuming it with yogurt or ayran.
Things to Consider: Grape leaf wrap is usually made salty, so you need to pay attention to its sodium content. Especially those with high blood pressure should control their portions. 6-7 grape leaf wraps are equivalent to about 1 slice of bread.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from grape leaves, it is enough to walk for about 15 minutes. You can burn these calories in a shorter time with a more intense exercise. For example, 7 minutes of running will be enough.
