❓Q&A Section
Q: Can I use red grapes instead of green grapes?
A: Yes, but green grapes offer a tangier, fresher flavor. Red grapes may make the juice sweeter and darker in color.

A: Not at all. The peel contains nutrients and fiber. Just ensure it’s well-washed. If using a juicer, the peel blends smoothly.
Q: What are the health benefits of this juice?
A: It’s rich in Vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Great for hydration, skin glow, digestion, and detox.
Q: Can I prepare this juice ahead of time?
A: Best served fresh. If storing, refrigerate in an airtight jar and consume within 24 hours.
Q: Can I skip lemon juice?
A: Yes, but lemon balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor. It also helps preserve the juice color.
Q: Is this suitable for kids?
A: Absolutely! It’s naturally sweet and packed with nutrients. Just avoid added honey for children under 1 year.
