Article Featured Image

Maintaining a well-balanced diet that gives you the energy you need whilst keeping your stomach satisfied can be a chore. How do you even begin picking which ingredients have the appropriate nutritious value to suit your palette and your body? 

Starting healthy habits and maintaining them is important – and the best way to do that is to know how what you’re eating helps you be healthy. 

Here is the nutritious value of these seven fruits and vegetables. 

1. Ginger

Having the ability to be used in almost any dish – ginger is something that should definitely be in your pantry. Containing medicinal properties that may help with nausea, weight loss, osteoarthritis, reducing blood sugars and countless other properties – ginger is almost a super root.

Juiced: Being a great antibiotic, including ginger in your juices and recipes will help soothe any hints of a burning throat you may have. That’s why Valfrutta has married ginger with pear and fennel in their latest juice.

2. Beetroot

This purple vegetable has a whole list of nutritious values that will help give you the energy needed to go about your day. Being particularly rich in the folate vitamin, beetroots play an important role in growth, development and heart health

Juiced: Adding that kick of sugar to your smoothie is one of the beetroot’s superpowers. Apart from being rich in iron, vitamins and minerals, beetroot also helps those who are suffering from anaemia. That’s why Valfrutta has made sure to include beetroot in their latest juice.

3. Black Carrots

Chock-full of Vitamin A, it’s no wonder that Bugs Bunny is always munching on a carrot or two. With all-trans-retinol being one of the main carrot components – consuming fruits and vegetables with similar nutritious values will help reduce the risk of ‘night blindness’.

Juiced: High in fibre and helps to improve the intestines, black carrots are one of the main ingredients of Valfrutta’s 100% fresh fruit juices. Being an anti-oxidant as well, black carrots’ benefits are boosted by the berries and beetroot found in Valfrutta’s juice.

4. Fennel 

Used both for garnish and as the main star of a meal; the fennel is chock-full with loads of nutritious value. Filled to the brim with 1.1 grams of protein and 2.7 grams of fibre, fennel is also a great source of potassium, phosphorus and calcium.

Juiced: Combining fennel with pear, ginger, and carrots means that your immune system will get a boost. Giving you some protein, mixing fennel with ginger is a great way to provide your body with all of the nutrients it needs to function.

5. Pumpkins

Usually used for carving Halloween pumpkins, this squash is actually a highly nutrient-dense food. The beta carotene antioxidant found in pumpkins, apart from giving them that vibrant orange colour, is also converted into Vitamin A within our digestive system. Eating food that has high beta carotene content may also offer protection against asthma and heart disease

Juiced: Being high in Vitamin A means that pairing pumpkins with carrots will aid your eyesight tremendously. Finishing the juice off with apples and mangos will add that sweet kick to your juice.

6. Berries 

Leaving that sweet taste in your mouth and giving your body endless nutritional value – munching on some berries is always a good idea. Filled with anthocyanidins, aiding to manage diabetes, and lowering the odds of heart disease, berries have great nutritious value. 

Juiced: Mixing super sweet berries with beetroot and black carrots will give your body some natural sugars, vitamin A, and the folate vitamin.

7. Mango

This tropical fruit looks great and also works wonders in terms of your nutrition. Also known as ‘the king of fruits’ in some parts of the world – mangoes are packed with nutrients, low in calories, and even contains immune-boosting nutrients

Juiced: Finding what to pair with this tropical fruit when constructing your juice can be hard. But, blending up mangos, apples, carrots and pumpkins will give you a juice filled to the brim with vitamin A, antioxidants and all-trans-retinol.

Bonus – Pear

These sweet, bell-shaped fruits are highly nutritious, may promote gut health, have anti-inflammatory properties and even includes compounds such as anthocyanin and cinnamic acidic which have been shown to reduce the risk of cancer. 

Juiced: With local farmers dedicating love and time to growing these pears, you will only find the best pears in your Valfrutta juice. Valfrutta farmers combine ancient farming techniques with the latest technology. This amalgamation of methods results in eco-friendly farming that respects nature whilst maximising the product’s quality.
