What is the best fruit to eat?

The best fruits to eat are ones an individual enjoys the most. Low in calories, all fruits contain vitamins, minerals and fiber that support a healthy body. The American Heart Association recommends a variety of fruits for well-rounded nutrition.

All fruit counts towards the daily recommended servings — 2 cups for men and women. Fruits of all types — fresh, frozen or canned — make excellent choices provided they are free of sugar or excess amounts of sodium.

Avoid boredom and choose fruits from different color categories. For example, red fruits include rhubarb, cranberries and cherries, while fruits from the blue color group include blueberries, grapes, prunes and raisins.
