Information About Fruit and a List of Fruit in Alphabetical Order.
Fruit Alphabetical List provides a list of fruit from A-Z, juice and smoothie recipes, and other fruit list categories.
List of Fruit (A – Z)
A fruit alphabetical list and nutrition information for 50 of the most commonly consumed fruits. Although there are several methods for fruit classification, the culinary method is the one most useful for the preparation of food. For scientific research purposes, the botanical classification of fruit may be more useful. See a list of all fruits (Botany and Culinary).
A fruit alphabetical list according to color group. Nutrition information for each color group is also provided. Eating plant foods from different color groups (rainbow diet) is highly recommended by most health practitioners. Consuming fruits and vegetables from the various color groups provides an incredible array of nutrients for health management and healing. The most important factor regarding a healthy diet, is to get an adequate supply of essential nutrients by eating natural foods.
Why some vegetables are classified as fruits and a list of vegetable-fruits. Although vegetable-fruits generally aren’t used in fruit recipes, vegetable fruits provide many essential nutrients. One of the key nutrients of vegetable fruits such as cucumbers, tomatoes, and bell peppers is that they have a high water content. High water content vegetable fruits are often recommended for consumption before a meal, because they provide fullness and fiber which in turn encourages weight loss. Eating vegetable fruits along with a green salad before a meal, is a great way to nourish the body with many nutrients while avoiding over eating of the actual meal.
Smoothies are nutritious blends of fruit (and sometimes vegetables) along with a liquid such as water or cooled herbal tea. When fruits with a high water content are used to make smoothies, additional liquid usually isn’t necessary. Raw-soaked seeds and nuts are sometimes added to smoothies to increase their protein value and for other nutritional benefits. To increase the protein content and nutrient density of smoothies, natural supplements (such as spirulina and chlorella) can also be added.
Although natural fruit and vegetable smoothies provide health benefits, on Fruit Alphabetical List we emphasize drinking green smoothies. Green smoothies are one of the best ways to get adequate nutrition for the body, because their main ingredient is green leafy vegetables. Green leafy vegetables are superfoods due to their high nutrient density and high content of chlorophyll (a potent detoxifier). Green leafy vegetables are also a great source of insoluble fiber, which helps to prevent constipation and naturally sweeps the digestive system.
Generally, green smoothies are made by combining green leafy vegetables (such as spinach) and sweet fruits (such as bananas, oranges, and pineapple). Fruit Alphabetical List provides a few green smoothie recipes with videos on how to make them. Raw nuts, seeds, and micro algae (spirulina, chlorella) can also be added to increase the protein content and nutrient density of green smoothies. For the best digestion of raw nuts and seeds, be sure to soak them first before using them (for several hours or overnight).
Raw, fresh pressed juice is a potent nutritional drink. Drinking fresh vegetable/fruit juice is often recommended by many health experts due to it’s detoxification action and high nutrient density. Most juice recipes are vegetable based with a little bit of fruit added. Fruit Alphabetical List provides a few juice recipes with videos on how to make them. These highly recommended juice drinks provide many health benefits, including natural detoxification. Health experts usually encourage combining vegetables with a compatible fruit such as apple. The major benefit to drinking fresh juice is that the fiber has been removed, allowing for fast absorption of the nutrients contained within the juice. For that reason, fresh juice should be consumed on an empty stomach so that it can be absorbed into the system much faster.
Juice should always be consumed as soon as possible after juicing, because the quality of its nutrients goes down after it’s been sitting for a while. Generally, fresh juice can be stored up to 3 days in the refrigerator. Although it loses some of it’s nutrient qualities when it’s not consumed soon after it’s been made, when stored in the refrigerator – it will still retain a high level of many nutrients that are beneficial for health improvement and healing. It’s best to store leftover juice in glass mason jars with plastic lids since metal lids rust.
Note: Never drink green juice alone. It’s very potent and the detoxifying effects can overpower the system. Also, never drink beet juice alone. It’s also very potent and should be combined with another vegetable (such as carrot) or a fruit (such as apple).
