Fruit Nutrition Facts

Many Americans have little or no information on fruit nutrition facts because most nutrition ‘experts’ have little to no information on fruit or have bought into false or inaccurate information about fruit.

Let’s take a look at real Fruit Nutrition Facts:

De Novo Lipogenesis- The conversion of carbohydrates into fat
There is a common idea in nutrition today that ‘carbs’ make you fat. I find it hilarious, I always ask people if they complain about the carbohydrates on their hips or abdomens and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind.

Do these nutrition guru’s really even know how carbohydrates are converted into fat?

No.

Let’s find out.

De Novo Lipogenesis is the process by which carbohydrates are converted into fat. A study was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition where the researchers hypothesis was that the conversion of carbohydrates into fat would be higher in obese women indicating that excess carbohydrate consumption leads to obesity. The results were rather interesting:

“De novo lipogenesis increases after overfeedingwith glucose and sucrose to the same extent in lean and obesewomen but does not contribute greatly to total fat balance.”

Another interesting quote from this study:

“De novo lipogenesis from carbohydrate is energetically expensive and evidence to date suggests it does not contribute significantly to increased fat balance in persons consuming a typical high-fat Western diet.”

Am J Clin Nutr 2001;74:737–46.

Most nutrition guru’s do not understand this point:

Conversion of carbohydrates into fat is ‘energetically expensive’ or in simple terms the body burns 30% of the carbohydrates in the process of conversion! Carbohydrates do not make you fat.

There is a HUGE difference between refined sugar and fruit!
All sugars are NOT created equal!

Lets compare the nutrition profile of regular granulated sugar to the nutrition profile of common fruit.

Table Sugar Nutrition Facts:

3 Tb. of granulated sugar

Calories…………146
Protein…………….0
Fiber……………….0
Vit. B2…………….1%

That’s IT!

Here is where the truth lies:

• 146 calories in 3 Tablespoons! That is the same as eating 1 and a half apples or 1 1/2 c. of cheerios!
• No protein, No fiber, No fat
• The second truth is that sugar ALWAYS accompanies fat in recipes.

Sugar Always Accompanies FAT!

When you make cookies, What is the combination you put in the mixer first?

Sugar and Butter

What is in every processed food?

Sugar and FAT

The combination of sugar and fat is a health disaster, blood sugar raises, insulin is released and fat goes directly into adipose stores. Fat is already fat. I know that sounds silly but it should be common sense that fat can easily be stored due to the fact that it is already in the form of fat, where carbohydrates cannot be stored as adipose tissue directly without de novo lipogenesis a very inefficient and energy expensive process.

Fruit Nutrition Facts

I will use 1 1/2 apples because it is about the same calorie content as 3 Tb. of sugar.

1 1/2 Apple

Calories…………….151
Protein……………….1g
Fat…………………..1/2g
Fiber…………………7g or 28% daily value

Vit. A……………….7%
Folate……………….2%
B1…………………..5%
B2…………………..7%
B3…………………..2%
B5…………………..4%
B6…………………..9%
Vit. C………………18%
Vit. E……………….3%
Vit. K……………….7%

Calcium…………….2%
Copper……………..9%
Iron……………….2%
Magnesium…………..5%
Manganese…………..6%
Phosphorus………….5 %
Potassium…………..7%
Zinc……………….1%
Omega 3’s…………..2%

When you compare sugar to an actual fruit there is NO real nutritional comparison.

Notice the fiber content of the apple vs. sugar
The apple contains 7g of fiber, this fiber regulates the absorption of sugars and provides bulk in the intestinal tract, where as the sugar has no fiber and immediately enters the bloodstream and then causes a subsequent fall in blood glucose levels.

Protein in Fruit

Yes, fruit contains protein. It does not contain a high amount but every fruit contains protein. All whole foods contain a natural balance of carbohydrate, protein and fat the way NATURE designed for us to consume these macronutrients.Fruits are designed to be an easy to digest, cleansing, simple boost of energy food.

Antioxidants: Another Fruit Nutrition Fact

Antioxidants are extremely important in a healthy diet. Antioxidants are found in natures most healthy foods, fruit, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.Antioxidants protect the body against free radical damage.

What is a free radical?

It is a cell that is missing a molecule, they will scavenge for the missing molecule and cause damage to another cell or destroy another cell to acquire the missing molecule. This may be interesting but it is important to understand that this can damage the DNA structure of the cell which causes it to function improperly, reproduce at a rapid, uncontrolled rate and this sets up a serious scenario for disease.

Free radical damage does not just stop at one cell, it is a continuous series of damaging events that can have serious consequences.

Antioxidants stop this free radical damage and protect the body from disease. Fruits and vegetables are the HIGHEST source of antioxidants!

Vitamin C- This is a well known antioxidant that prevents free radical damage before it even begins.

Vitamin E- Does not stop the damage in the beginning but it will stop the damage from continuing as it breaks the continuation of damage.

Flavonoids - most common and largest group of antioxidants, over 5,000 flavonoids have been identified in plant foods.

Polyphenols - Anthocyanins, apigenin, luteolin, proanthocyanidins, hesperidin, naringin, quercitin, myricetin, resveratrol and thousands of others….1

Studies have shown significant benefits to the consumption of antioxidants or polyphenols

Inhibition of carcinogenesis by polyphenols: evidence from laboratory investigations.

Studies have found that polyphenolic compounds have cancer preventing activities through many different effects. Polyphenolic compounds inhibited cancer cell growth, enhanced the cellular death, reduced invasiveness of cancer, and slowed the angiogenesis process in cancer.

Am J Clin Nutr. 2005 Jan;81(1 Suppl):284S-291S.

Common Polyphenols or Antioxidants and Food Sources
Lycopene …..Tomato

Beta-carotene …..carrots, sweet potato, squash, pumpkin and red
or orange bell peppers

Lutein ………spinach, kiwi, bell peppers

Co-enzyme Q10- avocado, broccoli, parsley, cauliflower, spinach, peanuts, almonds

Zeaxanthin- yellow corn and kiwi

Tangeritin- tangerines and citrus 2

Luteolin- found in leaves, celery, green pepper, oregano, thyme

Kaempferol- grapefruit, broccoli, apples

This list is short but demonstrates the potent cancer fighting, disease fighting components of fruits and vegetables.

Look at the TOTALITY of Nutrients not Individual nutrients

There is a common theme in nutrition today……. reductionism

Eat dairy products for calcium
fish or flax for omega 3’s
meat for protein
Oranges for Vitamin C

This reductionist idea has absolutely nothing to do with optimal health or supplying adequate nutrients in the body. In fact, some of these foods have little else to offer us and may not even provide a healthy amount of the nutrients we value them for.

ALL foods contain protein, nearly all foods contain calcium, nearly all plant foods contain omega 3’s.

Fruit Nutrition Fact: Fruit contains Omega 3 fatty acids

You probably look at the omega 3 content of these fruits and first, are surprised they have omega 3’s.

Why are you surprised that fruit contains Omega 3’s?

Because the media and most nutrition ‘experts’ only tell you about foods that contain A LOT of omega 3’s. We don’t need a lot of omega 3’s. Notice that the cup of raspberries only contains .8g of fat and yet has 14% of your daily value of omega 3’s. We do not need much!

The common diet myth is that fat is good and we need a lot of it to get enough essential fatty acids…..not true.

If .8g of fat in fruit can provide you with 14% of your daily value you know you don’t need a lot of fat in your diet to get the essential fatty acids your body needs!

Let’s make a fruit meal and check out the fruit nutrition facts

Most people think of fruit as a little snack, and may eat an 1 piece of fruit or rarely more than 2 in a day. But what if you made fruit a meal?

Could you get enough nutritional value?

Here is an example of a fruit breakfast:

1 banana
1- 5″ round cantaloupe
1/2 c. blueberries
1/2 c. strawberries

You may be thinking that this can’t possibly provide you with adequate nutrition, but here is the nutrition breakdown.

Can fruit be part of a healthy diet? Absolutely!

Calories………. 361
Protein…………..7g [15% of daily value for average woman]
Fat ……………1.9g
Fiber……………… 11.5g or 46%Omega 3’s …….35%
Vit. A…………….806%
Folate……………41%
B1……………….28%
B2………………..22%

B3………………..39%
B5………………..23%
B6………………..70%
Vit. C ……………358%
Vit. E……………..7%
Vit. K ……………..34%

Calcium…………..7%
Copper…………..44%
Iron………………11%
Magnesium ……..35%
Manganese……….62%
Phosphorus ………20%
Potassium…………44%
Selenium…………..7%
Zinc…………………18%

As you can see, fruit is PACKED with nutrients! If you consume fruit as an actual meal and not just a small apple for a snack you can actually obtain all the nutrition you need. After evaluating fruit nutrition facts I hope you can see that fruit is an extremely important part of a healthy diet.Fruit contains more nutritional value than you probably even realized.

Fruit nutrition fact lists are hard to come by, I rarely see a nutrition ‘expert’ who really understands the health benefits of fruit consumption or who actually knows the fruit nutrition facts at all. Even worse, some nutrition gurus have false and inaccurate information on fruit nutrition facts.

Many people believe that fruit has little nutritional value and should not be eaten regularly because of the ’sugars’ or ‘carbs’ in fruit. Fruit has is viewed in a negative light due mostly to a lack of understanding of fruit nutrition facts and the difference between natural occurring sugars in natural foods that contain a myriad of nutrients, protein, and a lot of fiber vs. refined flour and sugar.

The reality is that fruit is an excellent food and contains a variety of nutrients, including protein.

Fruit is often over looked, and condemned because of the much feared ‘carb’ or sugar. All of the benefits of fruit, including the antioxidants are over looked and this is a fatal mistake, literally!

Berries are high in antioxidants, low in sugar, contain significant omega 3 fatty acids and are high in vitamin C. Berries are fruit super foods and should be a regular part of the diet, especially in the summer months. A parfait made with fresh berries and some cashew cream is an excellent way to cool off in the summer.

“Antioxidants, especially those from food sources, have important roles in preventing pathogenic processes related to cancer, cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration, cataracts, and asthma, and may enhance immune function.”

Fruit Delivery in New Zealand

You know that old saying, ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’? Sure, this may sound like something that your grandmother says, but just because it has become a cliché, it doesn’t mean it is wrong, in fact, it actually has a certain truth behind it. This is probably why it is such an enduring saying. You couldn’t ever imagine that the saying ‘a cream pie a day keeps the doctor away’ would have as much durability, and for good reason, it is blatantly untrue. Fruit is one of the staples of a good diet and by eating a decent amount of fresh fruit every day you will be a healthier person. You don’t need to be a doctor or a nutritionist to understand that.

Now wouldn’t it be great to have someone who did fruit delivery to your business? Imagine that, fresh fruit delivered every day.

Stick to Your Diet With the Help of Miracle Fruit Tablets

admin — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 10:28:29 +0000

If you’ve never tasted miracle fruit before, it’s high time that you grab a miracle berry that’ll surely satisfy your sweet cravings. The miracle fruit, also called as the “magic berry,” “miracle berry,” “flavor berry,” or “miraculous berry,” is an amazing fruit with interesting properties. A reddish berry that’s native to West Africa, its existence was first documented by Chevalier des Marchais. The miracle fruit, when consumed, makes sour and bitter foods taste sweet. In short, foods that don’t taste great will become more palatable when you eat them after consuming a miracle fruit. Because of this interesting property, flavor-tripping parties feature miracle fruits to tickle the guests’ taste buds.

The miracle fruit as a sweetener

Been trying to stick to a healthy diet but hate the bland taste of healthy, low-calorie foods? Then miracle fruit may be the answer. Aside from playing with your taste buds, miracle fruit can actually help you stick to your diet. Miracle berries contain a glycoprotein molecule called miraculin that binds to your taste buds, making sour and bitter foods taste sweet. The effects can last up to two hours, depending on the amount of berries consumed.

The discovery of this amazing fruit has led some researchers and food manufacturers to turn it into a safe, natural, and healthy sweetener in the form of tablets. Diet foods have low-sugar, starch, and calorie levels, making them the perfect foods for those who want to lose weight. Unfortunately, these high-fiber and low-calorie foods don’t taste that great. Light desserts with low-sugar may not be able to excite your taste buds like a sugar-filled doughnut oozing with chocolate and cream does. With miracle fruit tablets, you can turn any bland-tasting food into great-tasting favorites. Some of those who have tasted foods after eating miracle fruit claim that lemons tasted like sweet candies. During a flavor tripping party in New York, one guest claimed that Tabasco sauce tasted like hot donut glaze after consuming a miracle fruit.

Miracle fruit tablets vs. aspartame

To help health-conscious individuals deal with sweet cravings, artificial sweeteners such as aspartame have been developed. However, aspartame has been a topic of controversy because some claim that its consumption may lead to several health problems. Although this claim needs more research, some of the health problems associated with the long-term use of aspartame include severe tremors, headaches, dizziness, tinnitus, and facial pain. With miracle fruit however, no short or long-term side effects have been reported. As a matter of fact, some West African tribes have gobbled miracle fruits as part of their regular diet for centuries. If you want natural sweeteners with no possible harmful effects, then miracle fruit tablets are best for you. These miracle fruit tablets can be easily incorporated into your daily diet to help you manage your sugar consumption. For best results, it’s better to take miracle fruit tablets just before the evening meal.

Miracle fruit tablets are your best option when trying to make healthy foods taste more delicious. Low-sugar foods may help you control your sugar consumption but they often disappoint many taste buds. With miracle fruit tablets however, you’ll enjoy healthier foods like you enjoy your favorite desserts. Whether it’s a slice of lemon or a plate of radish, these healthy foods will definitely taste great after consuming a miracle fruit tablet. By tricking your taste buds, fruit-based sweeteners such as miracle fruit tablets can definitely satisfy your sweeth tooth while helping you stick to your diet. Plus, if you love to experiment with various flavors, a miracle fruit can do wonders during a flavor tripping party.

Three Things You Should Know About the Miracle Fruit

admin — Fri, 21 May 2010 11:35:52 +0000

The miracle fruit is gaining popularity the world over for its amazing and unbelievable ability to turn sour and bitter tasting foods into sweet treats. You can get miracle fruits in two forms, either as fresh fruits or as freeze-dried tablets. Whether you decide on the fresh or tablet form of the fruit, the way in which the fruit is ingested is the same. Basically, miracle fruits are placed into the mouth and swirled around the mouth to coat the tongue and taste buds. The seed of the fresh fruit is edible, but many people decide not to eat it. For 30 minutes to over one hour after taking the fruit, your perception of taste will be tricked into thinking that sour and bitter flavors are sweet. This natural sweetener has many great uses. Here are three things you should know about miracle fruits.

Miracle fruits were banned by the FDA despite passing most major tests and being deemed safe for consumption

One of the reasons miracle fruits aren’t made widely available in grocery stores and food shops is that they were banned by the United States Food and Drug Administration. The story is rather controversial, considering that the fruit had passed most of the major tests and was deemed completely safe for regular consumption. It all started in the 1970s, when a company was set to market and launch a campaign for miracle fruits. After thorough research, testing, and analysis, and just one day before the product launch, the FDA shut down the project and rejected approval for miracle fruits. It was heart-wrenching for those who poured their blood, sweat, tears, and money into the project. Many have suspected that the rejection by the FDA was due to industrial propaganda. With the size and success of the sugar and artificial sweeteners industries, and the threat that a natural sweetener like miracle fruits might pose, it’s easy to see why such speculations might be true.

Miracle fruits are a lot safer than other sweetening products

As mentioned above, miracle fruits were already considered absolutely safe when they were suddenly rejected by the FDA. The truth is, these fruits are far safer for consumption than many of the household products and ingredients that we use today. Sugar itself can have more harmful effects than miracle fruits if it is not taken with moderation and care. Still, sugar is a common household item and it is used in a wide variety of recipes and foods. Artificial sweeteners can be even more harmful than sugar, yet both sugars and artificial sweeteners are approved by the FDA, while miracle fruits, for some mysterious reason, are not. In fact, miracle fruits are so safe that many people already grow their own miracle fruit plants for their own consumption. In Japan, there are a number of restaurants and cafes that offer miracle fruits to enhance the flavors of some of their dishes and desserts. In New York, people get together for “food tripping” parties where they consume miracle fruits and conduct taste tests with different foods. If miracle fruits were truly harmful to one’s health, then certainly the fruit wouldn’t be enjoying the popularity it has.

Miracle fruits are a true miracle

Despite all of the controversy that has surrounded miracle fruits through the years, it cannot be denied that these amazing fruits hold more than just the miracle of taste. There are many applications of miracle fruits that can help people all over the world deal with flavorless and unappetizing food. With miracle fruits, diabetics and dieters can enjoy sweets without the calories or sugar, cancer and chemotherapy patients can eliminate distasteful flavors from medication, and anyone can enjoy a whole new world of flavors.

Make your Fruit Trees Grow Large Juicy Fruit

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 02:07:05 +0000

Guidelines on how to Grow Large Fruit

For many beginners at fruit tree growing, the biggest disappointment is that their first crop of fruit is mostly composed of small fruit instead of the nice large plump fruit seen in the local greengrocers. This is frequently upsetting for those new to fruit tree growing, and can often deter them from making any further efforts in this direction. If this applies to you, relax, it isn’t your fault, it is quite natural for this to happen. If you want those large juicy fruits you CAN have them without genetic engineering or non-organic fertilizers. Its not magic, it just needs a little experience and some advanced fruit growing tips and techniques.

The first step, which needs to completed when the fruit tree is still young, is to carry out a little ‘fruit-thinning’. The reason this is done is based on the idea that the fruit tree has a fixed amount of ‘fruit growing resources’ and if you allow too many fruits to remain on the tree, they will end up small and stunted. Remove some of these early and you will ensure that the ones that remain are plump and juicy. Opinions differ, but a good starting point is to remove approximately one third of the baby fruit in order to encourage the fruit tree to grow the remaining fruit to a large size.

The second fruit growing tip is ‘fruit spacing’. For most fruit trees, whether apple, pear, orange or lemon, the health and size of each fruit is heavily dependant on how far away it is from the next nearest fruit. When you are removing the baby fruit, in the fruit thinning process mentioned above, try to ensure that each fruit is at least 6 inches away from the adjacent fruit. Although it might look good when you friends come round, having a tree that is loaded with fruit is NOT the best way to encourage large fruit!

In many cases, the problem of ’small fruit’ might be due to events that are beyond the control of the fruit grower. Weather, for example, can influence the growth of fruit dramatically. If there is a cold spell during the early growth stages of the fruit it can cause serious growth retardation to all the affected fruit trees. Even a sustained spell of bad cloud can affect fruit growth as it reduces the trees ability to provide nutrients to the growing fruit. In severe cases, or when many ‘weather shocks’ happen simultaneously, the tree may actually drop the fruit far too early, which will result in small fruit that is also probably damaged by the fall. In cases where weather, disease or pest infestation appear to be affecting your fruit trees, you may be able to save the day by doing some more fruit thinning allowing your fruit tree to allocate more of its resources to the remaining fruit.

Having said all the above, there is no substitute for experience and experimentation. Assuming you have a mature tree that is well-established, you can experiment with different techniques and degrees of thinning until you get the results that you desire. Don’t be afraid to ask from fruit growers who are more experienced. Their are many books available, and your local library os sure to ahve some the cover the fruit that you are particularly interested in. If you remain open-minded and keep experimenting, you will soon be producing large and juicy fruits that will impress friends and family alike.
