The New Fruit and Veggie Swap..
The five best fruits and vegetables to eat:
1. Sweet potatoes instead of carrots
2. Papaya instead of oranges
3. Raspberries instead of strawberries
4. Watercress instead of mustard
5. Kale instead of spinach
Why switch?
• Sweet potatoes have nearly twice as much beta-carotene as carrots.
• Papaya has 15 times more beta-cryptoxanthin than oranges.
• Raspberries have three times more ellagic acid than strawberries.
• One cup of watercress contains as much isothiocyanate as four teaspoonfuls of mustard.
• Kale has three times more lutein/zeaxanthin than spinach.
The findings were presented at the Experimental Biology conference in Anaheim, California.
