Are The Exotic Fruits As Rich In Vitamin C As The More Familiar Fruits?
Most of the more exotic fruits like kiwi fruit, paw paws, ugli fruits and the increasingly familiar mangoes, are all rich in vitamin C, while mangoes in particular are also a rich source of beta-carotene which our bodies can convert into vitamin A. Not so long ago mangoes were a rarity, but they are found in most supermarkets nowadays. Most people enjoy the taste and at the centre of the fruit they have a very interesting seed in what looks like a purse. It is always good to be adventurous and try new things. A single fruit doesn’t cost much so if you find you can’t stand the taste it’s no great loss, but on the other hand, you might hit the jackpot and discover a new fruit to go on enjoying for years. EVERYONE SHOULD AIM TO EAT AT LEAST THREE PIECES OF FRUIT THE SIZE OF AN APPLE OR BANANA EVERY DAY. How Did Earlier Inhabitants Of Britain Obtain Their Vitamin C Before All Of These Exotic Fruits Became Available? Citrus fruits are a much richer source of vitamin C than home grown apples
