Apples
One of nature’s great fast foods, apples are not only delicious, they are also good for you. This exceptionally healthy fruit has many research-backed benefits. A medium apple — with a diameter of about 7.6 centimetres — equals 1.5 cups of fruit. Two cups of fruit daily are recommended on a 2,000-calorie diet.
The same serving provides 2–4% of the RDI for manganese, copper, and the vitamins A, E, B1, B2, and B6. Apples are also a rich source of polyphenols. These are compounds packed with antioxidants and also help fight disease. To get the most out of apples, leave the skin on — it contains half of the fibre and many of the polyphenols.
Pears
Pears are a powerhouse fruit, packing fibre, vitamins, and beneficial plant compounds.
What’s more, these fruits are an excellent source of polyphenol antioxidants, which protect against oxidative damage. Be sure to eat the whole pear, as the peel boasts up to six times more polyphenols than the flesh.
