KNOW YOUR VEGGIES & FRUITS:
PART 1
Here are 11 reasons:
1. Ideal for diabetics
With a low glycemic index (GI) value, eating a granadilla does not cause blood sugar levels to spike. This makes it a great alternative to fruit with high GI values, such as melon or pineapple.
2. Boosts immune system
Granadilla provides the body with essential vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B3, B9, C, E and K. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, is especially effective in building up a strong immune system.
3. Reduces anxiety
You may think that the pleasant flavor is the only reason this fruit makes you feel better, but it’s also because of the magnesium levels found in granadilla. The mineral has been linked to decreased levels of stress and anxiety. And let’s be honest: just the action of smashing one open could help release some pent up energy.
4. Increases blood cell count
The production of red and white blood cells is stimulated thanks to the iron, potassium and B vitamins found in granadilla. Healthy red blood cells are vital for combating anemia.
5. Fiber-licious
When eaten whole, the seeds of the fruit have a fiber content of approximately 1.9 grams. Fiber is crucial for gut health and preventing constipation. For young children, extract the fruit juice from the seeds by setting a strainer over a bowl or cup and pushing the seeds around with a spoon.
6. Natural relaxant
Acting as a mild sedative, the fruit is beneficial for those who suffer from insomnia. For a calming tea, brew the seeds of a granadilla along with manzanilla (chamomile).
