5 fruits you may not know about to get out of the sameness in the diet
1. Kiwi
You've certainly seen this one on the supermarket shelf, haven't you? At first glance, she doesn't seem to be all that nice. But, believe me, inside the thick shell and full of small “hairs”, there is a delicious hoopoe.
Kiwi is rich in vitamin C, helps reduce the risk of chronic diseases and boosts the immune system. Plus, it's rich in fiber, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds.
2. Blueberry
The blueberry (or blueberry) is a very popular fruit out there, but it is still little known around here. But it shouldn't! Although small, this fruit is an excellent source of antioxidants, vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber.
In addition, there are recent studies that suggest that blueberries are great allies of heart health, help reduce inflammation and improve our cognitive function. Okay or want more?
3. Cashew
No, it's not spelled wrong. Cashew is a (not so) distant cousin of cashew. Also known as cajuzinho-do-cerrado, it has a juicy and slightly acidic pulp, but full of benefits for our health.
Cashew is rich in vitamin C, iron and antioxidants. In addition, it has several anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties.
4. Star fruit
The star-shaped fruit! Although common in Brazil, carambola is originally from Southeast Asia and Australia. Rich in vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants, this delight tastes sweet and a little acidic.
In addition, it has anti-inflammatory and also anti-diabetic properties. However, people with chronic kidney problems should not consume it, due to caramboxin, a carambola substance that can intoxicate humans if not filtered and eliminated completely.
5. rambutan
This is perhaps the most exotic fruit on this list. Rambutan comes directly from Southeast Asia. It is somewhat reminiscent of the lychee: a “threatening” skin hides a sweet, juicy pulp full of nutrients.
The fruit is rich in vitamin C, antioxidants and fiber.
