During the holidays, the supermarkets return to offer a varied choice of exotic fruits. We wish to present five of them, which are not only tasty and healthy but also a real pleasure for the palate.
Dates
Although dried dates are available throughout the year, it is during the Christmas period that they are particularly appreciated. In fact, the so-called bread of the desert is an excellent and healthy source of energy, which can be served with an aperitif as an appetizing snack. Mineral substances (call, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, and calcium), vitamins (A, B1, B2, B6, C) and containing fibers promote digestion.
Pomegranate
It is the oldest curative fruit in the history of mankind. Pomegranate is rich in glutamine and aspartic acid which supports the formation of muscle mass. Furthermore, this red fruit protects the cardiovascular system, stabilizes cholesterol levels and lowers blood pressure. Pomegranate grains can be easily removed and eaten as a snack or used to decorate festive menus.
Lime
The younger sister of the lemon has a slightly more intense taste and gives an extra touch to cocktails, condiments, and sauces. In addition, the peel of the lime is used in the preparation of numerous desserts. Like all citrus fruits, limes also contain a lot of vitamin C, calcium, calcium and phosphorus, which are particularly important for a healthy heart and strong muscles.
Papaya
Papaya is rich in calories, magnesium, calcium as well as vitamin C and provitamin A, which help the stomach and intestine to digest very protein foods (meat, fish, cheese, etc.). Furthermore, it is an excellent anticancerogen. Papaya is ideal for small intermediate meals or for preparing exotic sauces such as chutneys, curries or condiments in general.
Passionfruit / Maracuja Passion
Fruit is a real vitamin bomb. It is rich in vitamin A, B, and C as well as mineral substances such as call, phosphorus, and calcium. This brown-purple berry is a real hit also for the preparation of numerous dishes. In addition to being an excellent ingredient for cocktails, bowls or fruit juices, it is also very tasty in the form of yogurt, desserts and ice cream.
