Typical summer fruits and their benefits

Eating fruit is healthy and more in summer than the heat dehydrates us and its intake becomes almost essential

We are already in the middle of summer, with good weather, the longest days and the typical fruits of this season, which are available in the markets and greengrocers.

And since these foods are not available, or at least, it is not a better version during the rest of the seasons, We recommend taking advantage of the summer to enjoy all the fruits that we present below.

Watermelon

Refreshing, composed mainly of water, so its caloric content is very low and it has antioxidant properties.

If you prefer to consume this food in different ways, you can always prepare a watermelon smoothie.

Melon

It belongs to the same family as watermelon and in the same way its caloric content is very low. It is a source of vitamin E, so its antioxidant properties also stand out among its benefits. It also stands out as high in potassium, and low in sodium.

In this case, you can choose to prepare a plate of melon with cinnamon, an option that surely surprises you positively, while taking advantage of the benefits of this last ingredient.

Peach

There are different types of peaches, although they are all healthy. This fruit, like the next one, owes its color to carotenes, from which its benefit as an antioxidant comes, thanks to its vitamin A. In addition, it favors the regulation of intestinal transit.

Among its variants in the kitchen, we highlight the peach skewers with cheese or cooked ham.

Apricot

It is a fruit very rich in vitamin C and minerals, such as potassium, calcium or magnesium.

You can choose the same preparation option as with the peach, or as side in meat dishes.

Plum

This fruit is perfect to promote your intestinal transit and deal with your aging. It is also an important source of vitamins and minerals and helps to improve depressive states and anemia.

As with the mango, you can prepare a Plum jam.

Mango

Mango stands out as a source of beta-carotene, Vitamins AB, C and E, fiber and folic acid, which is why this fruit is so popular in India, in addition to its excellent flavor.
