GUINEP
Fruit, good for and filled with so many wonderul nutritents. For starters they are usually fair- good sources of calories due to their natural sugar content; and good to excellent sources of insoluable dietary fibre, various essential macro- and micro- minerals, vitamins and vitamin like factors (Cajanus, The Caribbean Food & Nutrition Institute Quarterly Vol. 39 No. 1 2006). Now I know there are lots of juices and other food items out there that make claims about offering a full or a half serving of fruit, I am not here to dipute that but I would rather eat an orange than drink orange juice or for that matter have any whole fruit and for the reasons metioned in above in Cajanus (fibre, mineral and vitamins).
Here at home there is the tendency I think to think traditonal when it comes to fruit, but guinep, passion fruit, rose apple and hog plum are a few types of fruit that may not come readily to mind but they part of the fruit food group of the Caribbean Food Groups.
What does this mean you can have some guinep and it will count for a serving of fruit so think outside the box it may be cheaper and more exciting to do so.
