- Pears– They are one of those fruits that has been around for nearly four thousand years. High in Vitamin C, folate and fiber, they are also fat-free, cholesterol-free and sodium-free. Best eaten with its peel on since Vitamin C is found on its skin.
- Oranges- With the same nutrients packed in as with pears, the best oranges are those which are heavy for its size, has a firm and smooth skin and with a healthy color. They make excellent additions to cooked dishes as well as desserts.
- Pineapples– Saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium have no place in pineapples. Pick fruits that have dark green leaves and a strong smell to get most of the Vitamin C and fiber nutrients. Disregard pineapples with dark or soft spots and have dry looking leaves.
