Resveratrol can be commonly found in red grapes and of course red wine. It can also be found in other plants like cocoa and mulberries, but red grapes have a higher concentration of Resveratrol, especially in the skins. In places with lower temperatures, making grapes more prone to infections, more Resveratrol is needed to assist in keeping the fruit hardy. When an infection is about to occur, grapes release Resveratrol as an act of self-defense.

Peanuts also contain Resveratrol. Yes, you will be glad to know that peanut butter is actually good for your health, other than the fact that it tastes delicious. Like grapes, the peanut produces plenty of Resveratrol for virus and bacterial infection protection. The content of Resveratrol can be found more concentrated in boiled peanuts rather than peanut butter however.

Resveratrol can also be found in the Japanese knotweed. Often found as an invasive weed on the American soil, the Japanese knotweed is actually an important source for Resveratrol. Often instead of grapes, manufacturers tap the knotweed for their source of Resveratrol.

The benefit of the Resveratrol in plants is for protection against diseases and infections. This gives a sure indication that people can benefit from it in the same fashion. Like the grapes and the peanut, use Resveratrol to assist with the fight against infection and disease.
