According to the news on January 29, according to the German "Heidelberg 24" website, a latest study on the nutritional content of fruits and vegetables found that lemons are the healthiest fruits in the world, while the little-known watercress is the champion of the overall nutritional list of vegetables and fruits. The study selected 41 types of highly nutritious fruits and vegetables for analysis, counted 17 important nutrients including vitamin A and vitamin B12, and compared them with the calories they contained.
The results showed that lemons were the most nutritious among the selected fruits. Ranked second is strawberry. While low in fat and calories, a handful of strawberries can meet people’s vitamin C needs for a day.
Followed by orange, lime, grapefruit, blackberry, etc. As for common fruits such as apples, they were not selected because they did not meet the recommended standards, but they are not unhealthy.
Research also shows that vegetables are healthier than fruits. Lemons, which rank first among fruits, only rank 28th on the overall list. The crown of No. 1 on the overall list unexpectedly went to watercress, and this humble vegetable is usually only used as a side dish in salads.
Ranking second is Chinese cabbage. Each 100 grams can supplement a quarter of a person’s daily requirement of vitamin C. It also provides a large amount of plant protein and amino acids. Experts say it is easy to digest and rich in nutrients.
