The aroma of autumn grapes approaches like an old promise between nature and humans. The rich scent is a whisper that each grape has ripened, and a subtle invitation that now is the perfect time to eat. It’s no wonder fruits, beautiful, fragrant, and delicious, have been a main subject of art from ancient Roman and Egyptian murals to 17th-century still-life paintings, and are still cherished as holiday gifts. Fruits are nature’s gift designed for humans to eat. Scientists speculate that during the hunter-gatherer era, remembering the locations of fruit trees and the timing of their ripening was a driving force behind human brain development.
