Abstract: Fruits give us plenty of fiber, vitamins, minerals, including folate, potassium and vitamins A and C. and phytochemicals (which give the color). Fruits contain fiber, phytochemicals and a variety of minerals and vitamins, particularly vitamins A, C, E and K. Many fruits are also packed with minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and zinc. Vegetables are low in calories and fats but contain good amounts of vitamins and minerals. All the Green-Yellow-Orange vegetables are rich sources of calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, beta-carotene, vitamin B-complex, vitamin-C, vitamin-A, and vitamin K. A healthy intake of fruit and vegetables helps to protect against major illnesses, such as heart disease and cancer
