Fruity Frenzy- Do you think you've tried them all?

Fruit is an integral food group that our bodies thrive on. A diet that consists of fruit and vegetables contributes to ones overall health. Within the past couple of years, I have researched the beneficial aspects of fruits and the benefits are surely fruitful!  They supply us with the special vitamins, minerals and fiber that protect us from chronic diseases. Behind each fruit lies a special collection of nutrients which means that no two fruits are alike in nutrients. SO, that means each individual fruit is jam packed with beneficial biologically active substances just for you!  I thought I've tried them all... guavas, apples, berries, pears, plums, cherries, grapes, to say the least. Boy was I wrong! There are thousands upon thousands of fruits and vegetables around the world. My co worker introduced me to a new fruit called kava kava, which is said to have double the Vitamin C and antioxidants of an orange. Kava Kava among thousands of unrecognized fruits are ready to be tasted. I know I am going to go an adventure trying exotic fruits while learning about their hidden medicinal effects.
