Fruit Bowl Nutrition Enjoying the bounty of summer fruits enhances taste, satisfaction and your nutrition.
Fruits provide a sweet taste that can often serve as a dessert or between meal treat.
In addition to this enjoyment, the variety of nutrients in fruit is high and calories are low. The calories in fruit come from carbohydrates, since fruits lack protein and most have no fat. Fruits provide a variety of soluble and insoluble fiber, helping with regularity and cholesterol reduction. But it's the vitamins and minerals that really stand out. Fruits provide vitamins A, C and K, potassium, and folate.
