KNOW YOUR VEGGIES & FRUITS:
Part 2:
7. Potassium powered
Bananas aren’t the only fruit with a kick of potassium. One granadilla provides about 63 mg of potassium, which can help lower blood pressure and aid in muscle recovery.
8. Heart healthy
Show your heart some love by slurping up the tropical fruit’s pulp. The benefits include regulating the heart rate and blood pressure and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
9. Rich in antioxidants
Just like a handful of blueberries, a granadilla provides antioxidant properties to help combat free radicals (which can damage cells). Consuming antioxidant-rich foods can also improve blood flow and prevent inflammation.
10. Helps absorb iron
Foods rich in Vitamin C help the body absorb iron from plant based food sources. For example, a granadilla dressing would be ideal for pairing with a spinach salad. Simply extract some of the juice (following steps mentioned in list number five) and mix with olive oil, vinegar, lemon and honey.
11. Easy on the eyes
The sunny hue of the fruit is a joy to look at, but did you know consuming the slimy pulp can also improve your vision? Granadilla contains vitamin A which helps prevent the eye cells from deteriorating.
These are just eleven benefits that the granadilla provides, but the flavor alone will have you wanting more.
