What are the Healthiest Fruits?

A cornucopia of healthy fruits awaits the consumer. However, many want to know which fruits are the most healthy to consume. Different fruits have different health advantages. For example, some contain more dietary fiber, while others are rich in carotenoids, the chemicals that give fruit their color and are often antioxidants. Some have high values of some vitamins but not others.

There are a few standby rules to consider when choosing healthyhealthyhealthy fruit at the market. Any fresh fruit tends to be superior to canned fruit. Canned fruit is often packed in sugar syrup, and even when packed in juice, it often is peeled resulting in less healthful fruit servings. Further, eating any kind of fruit is definitely healthier than eating no fruit at all. So even if your favorites don’t make the list of most nutritious, they’re still likely to be quite good for you.

By many standards, the healthiest fruit available is the guava, which may not be so easy to find. Actually, it’s easier than most people think. Many people grow ornamental guavas and forget the fruitsfruitsfruits falling off the bushes are actually edible. The guava is low in calories, high in fiber, and chock full of vitamin C, and carotenoids.

Another very healthyhealthyhealthy fruit is watermelon, which is often much easier to find. Two cups of watermelon can be a filling treat. Again, watermelon is low in calories, contains 100% of the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) recommended values of carotenoids and Vitamin C and about 25% of the USDA recommendations for dietary fiber and potassium.

Grapefruit, kiwis, and papayas are all healthyhealthyhealthy fruit, as well. A healthyhealthyhealthy fruit like cantaloupe will provide lots of vitamins A and C, and dried apricots are a terrific source of fiber. Blueberries are chock full of antioxidants, but strawberries, which are less expensive and easier to find are actually even better. Tangerines are a very healthyhealthyhealthy fruit, offering a good mix of carotenoids, fiber, Vitamin C, and potassium.

If you’re looking for certain nutritional values in your fruit, fruitsfruitsfruits can be evaluated by highest in a category. For instance, the healthyhealthyhealthy fruit highest in fiber tends to belong to the berry category, particularly raspberries and blackberries. Grapes are highest in potassium per serving. Most melons and guava are examples of healthyhealthyhealthy fruit because they provide one with lots of carotenoids. Melons are also high in Vitamin C, but so are oranges and most berries.

Kiwis, papaya, and bananas are healthyhealthyhealthy fruit that will fill half your recommended daily allowance of potassium. Types of healthyhealthyhealthy fruit high in vitamin B include cantaloupe, papaya and bananas. In all, each fruit brings its own benefit, and with such great variety, there is always some new and healthyhealthyhealthy fruit to try.
