Calories by Type

Red or green, seedless, European-type grapes have 3 calories per grape. American slip-skin grapes have 2 calories, while muscadine grapes have 3 calories per fruit.

Fresh is Best

Choose fresh fruit over grapes packed in heavy, sugary syrups. One cup of canned grapes packed in syrup has almost 200 calories compared to 1 cup of fresh grapes with roughly 100 calories.
