Many people like to eat fruit. Here are some kinds of healthy fruit for you to choose.
Star fruit
Star fruits come from Southeast Asia. They have a sweet, yet sour flavor. Star fruits are high in vitamin C and fiber, plus they are low in calories.
Star fruits are available year round. Choose those that are yellow in color, or let green star fruits ripen a bit at home. Sliced star fruits can be added to salads or eaten out of hand.
Lychee
Lychees come from South China and Vietnam. They are high in vitamin C, B-complex vitamins, and potassium. One cup of fresh lychees has about 125calories.
Remove away the dark red skin to expose the white flesh, which can be eaten raw or added to fruit salads. Fresh lychees may be available in spring, but canned lychees are available year round. Keep in mind the canned lychees often contain extra calories and sugar.
Dragon fruit
The dragon fruit is a rather impressive thing to look at with its pink peel and seeded white flesh. Dragon fruits are native to Central America. They have a mild flavor, so they are perfect for picky eaters. Dragon fruits are high in vitamin C and vitamin B, plus they are low in calories.
Dragon fruits are available almost any time of the year. Eat the flesh or add it to fruit salads.
