Why are fruits an essential source of vitamins and minerals?

Fruits are true nutritional treasures. In their natural composition we find vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibre working together to keep our body healthy and active.

The main vitamins we find in fruits

Most fruits provide us with a wide range of vitamins, but some stand out in particular:

Vitamin A, C and the B group: key functions for the body

• Vitamin A: found in orange-coloured fruits such as peach or mango, it is essential for eye health and cell regeneration.
• Vitamin C: found in large amounts in fruits like strawberry or pineapple. A powerful antioxidant, it strengthens the immune system and combats ageing.
• B group vitamins: such as B6 or B9 (folic acid), present in fruits like banana, help regulate metabolism and improve mood.

The most common minerals in fruits and their importance

Potassium, magnesium and calcium: the most important

• Potassium: essential for muscle function and fluid balance. You’ll find it in banana or watermelon.
• Magnesium: supports the nervous system and bone health. Very present in fruits such as dates.
• Calcium: although better known in dairy, some fruits like orange also provide this key mineral for bones and teeth.

Vitamins in watermelon and melon: refreshing fruits with great benefits

Two of summer’s star fruits not only refresh, they also nourish.

Vitamins in watermelon and their benefits

Hydration, antioxidants and cell protection

Watermelon is more than 90% water, making it a highly hydrating fruit. But it is also rich in lycopene, an antioxidant that protects our cells from oxidative stress. In addition, it contains vitamin C and A, boosting immunity and vision.

Vitamins in melon and their benefits

Digestive support, vitamin C and immune function

Melon contains vitamin C, which strengthens the immune system, and soluble fibre, which supports digestion and prevents constipation. It also provides folates, ideal for cellular processes such as pregnancy.
