There are 60 metric drops in a 5ml teaspoon. You'll find many variants on this ranging from 50 - 120, but 60 is a good bet. [From Wiki Answers]
48 teaspoons in a cup.
48 x 60 = 2880 drops in a cup.
A grape seed is about the size of a drop, but the oil inside the seed is probably a lot less than a drop. I don't know for sure how much oil is in one grape seed, but if it is one tenth of a drop:
2880 x 10 = 28,880 grape seeds to make one cup of grape seed oil.
If there are 4 seeds in each grape that's 28,880/4 = 7200 grapes.
If there are approximately 60 (25 cent-sized grapes ) in a pound then: 7200/60 = 1200 pounds of grapes.
I have a strong feeling that the actual answer is much higher, between 50, 000 and 100,000 grape seeds to make one cup of oil extract. But this is a decent starting point.
There are 5 grams in a teaspoon so one teaspoon equals 5000 milligrams.
The recommended daily dose of grape seed extract is 150 to 300 (200) miligrams.
So, if we go by drops of oil from grapes seeds, a daily dose (eating raw grapes with seeds) is:
One teaspoon of grape seed oil is 28880/48 = 7220 seeds.
How many milligrams per seed? 7220/5000 = 1.4 seeds.
A daily dose is one 25th of a teaspoon therefore:
25 x 1.4 = 35 and if there are 4 seeds per grape:
35/4 = 8.75 grapes.
Again, I think this number is two to three times higher, and of course there are different ways of extracting oil and or nutrients from grape seeds.
Good luck with your nutrition needs. I hope this helps a little.
