Health Benefits of Red Fruits

Health Benefits of Red Fruits: Fruits are universally promoted as healthy as they supply dietary fibre. Fibre intake is linked to a lower incidence of cardiovascular disease and obesity. The red variety is no exception. Red fruits are a good source of many bioactive ingredients and nutrients, including vitamins (Vitamins A,C, and E), minerals (calcium, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, sodium, manganese, and copper), dietary fibre and antioxidants.

Their positive effects on human health are also ascribed to the presence of several health-related compounds such as organic acids, phenolics, and sugars (glucose, fructose). Apart from the general information, we have also presented details of two of the most popular families of red fruits, berries and cherries. Enjoy!
