[edit] Grape nutrients

Alex -- thanks for the tip on the nutrition table, but it's "as clear as mud" how to edit that! The table format you offer does not include the essential mineral, manganese which for grapes is exceptional in content. See http://whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrientprofile&dbid=55 showing 0.66 mg or 660 microg in 100 g or about 33% of the DRI -- the most outstanding nutrient content of all in grapes. If you can change it, thanks! --Paul144 (talk) 14:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

It wouldn't take an edit anywhere in the table comments, Alex. I left a hidden note there. Might be better to create our own table -- I did the ones on the superfruit page. Then we could fill in other data from the http://whfoods.com site or another source as needed.--Paul144 (talk) 03:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Looks good, Alex. Thanks for the detective work! --Paul144 (talk) 02:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Alex -- see my comment in the Talk page. I selected the USDA analysis: Grapes, american type (slip skin), raw. You must have chosen the European grape data, which I see shows Mn at 0.071. I think there might be an error of 10 in these data between "American" and "European", and tend to believe the higher value. --Paul144 (talk) 05:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alex -- I don't think there'd be a 10-fold difference in a mineral concentration between a ripe and a raw grape. As minerals are not metabolized or involved in synthesized chemical structures in the raw state, how would they change so much going from "ripe" to "raw"?

I think there's an error somewhere. Since blueberries and cranberries also have high similar Mn content, and WH Foods says the Mn content in grapes in 33% DV, I tend to believe the USDA data are off. Also, check the other selection from the USDA picklist for raw American grapes -- all the nutrient data are about the same except for Mn. Doesn't make sense to me. --Paul144 (talk) 03:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
