for you SLLLOOOW people- such as what vitamins are in which..etc. DUH
Answers:
oranges:Oranges are known for their vitamin C content, but they're also a good source of folate and fiber. They even contain some calcium. As with grapefruit, the white membrane under the skin of the orange contains more vitamin C than the flesh and a lot of the pectin fiber. When peeling the orange, try to leave the white inner peeling on and eat it with the flesh (if you don't mind the slightly bitter taste).
Bananas:They contain a lot of potassium, so eating a daily banana is helpful to people on certain medications, such as diuretics, which may deplete the body of potassium
Plums: Plums contain a bit of carotenoids and some vitamin C. There are many varieties from which to choose
Strawberries:Strawberries have two nutritional claims to fame: they are higher in vitamin C per calorie than any other fruit and they are high in fiber
Cherries:Cherries contain some beta carotene, and sour cherries contain more beta carotene than sweet cherries.
Watermelon:Watermelon is the top fruit source of the carotenoid antioxidant lycopene
Cantelope:Cantaloupes are high in vitamin C, beta carotene, and potassium.
Honey Dew Melon:Honeydew melon is not nearly as nutritious as cantaloupe. Cantaloupe contains half the number of calories, nearly twice the protein, slightly more fiber, more calcium, and a lot more beta carotene, compared with only a trace in honey-dew
Pineapple:Its claim to fame is that it's the fruit highest in the essential nutrient, manganese, and that it has digestive enzymes, as does papaya
