Meet the Superstars!

The following fruits and vegetables have been given 'superstar' status by nutritionists.
  • Peas - a 70g servicing provides half your vitamin C for the day. Peas also contain lots of fibre, B vitamins (such as folates, unusual for a veg), plus iron and zinc.
  • Carrots – really can help you see in the dark because they are rich in carotenoids that the body turns into vitamin A.
    		•
  • Guavas – contain around three times more vitamin C than green kiwifruit and a kiwi in turn contains 10 times more than an apple.
    		•
  • Blueberries and blackberries – top of the league of most powerful antioxidant fruit. Antioxidants are anti-ageing and protect against disease.
    		•
  • Kale and spinach – are the vegetables counterpart to the above, topping the league of most powerful antioxidant vegetables.
    		•
  • Dark green leafy vegetables, red peppers, sweetcorn and celery – all contain antioxidants (lutein, zeaxanthin) that can help prevent age-related macular degeneration, the most common cause of sight problems and blindness in the over 50s.
    		•
  • Tomatoes – contain lycopene that helps protect against certain cancers. Cooking tomatoes turns the antioxidant into a form that’s easier for the body to use.
  • Watercress – contains a great combination of iron and beta-carotene for boosting the oxygen in red blood cells. Is should be eaten raw for maximum nutrients.
