Unveiling the New Year's Grape-Eating Tradition: A Global Custom for Good Fortune
Vergi explains that "Las Uvas de la Suerte" began in Spain, where twelve grapes are eaten at midnight for luck. Green grapes are common, but any color works. "The focus is on consuming one grape per chime," she notes, not on eating under a table. This tradition symbolizes good fortune for each month of the coming year.
