grape seeds
Inside the fruit
Grape seeds are the small, hard seeds found inside grapes.
Most table grapes are bred seedless, but wine grapes and some eating varieties contain them.
Grape seeds are pressed to extract grape seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics, and are sold as dietary supplements for their antioxidant content.
