Table of caloric value of fruits and the period of their ripening in our latitudes

To overestimate the pleasant taste and useful content of fruits is very difficult. And, despite the fact that they are present in stores all year round (for example, grapes are brought from Chile, pears - from China, raspberries and blueberries - from the Virgin Islands), only in the summer they become record holders in the content of useful substances. It is during this period that fruits ripen in our latitudes. Therefore, below it will be indicated in which month it is necessary to pay special attention to local fruits, which are only from a branch.

In this case, fruit, especially sweet, can contribute to weight gain. American scientists recommend those who do not exercise and work, mostly sitting, eating 2 fruits a day. Those who are on the contrary, engaged in manual labor, can afford up to 5-6 pieces. Thus, the calorie content of the fruit depends on the content of glucose and fructose in them. Therefore, below is a table of caloric content of fruits indicating the time of their maturation.

Table of calorie content of fruits

In the following text, the name of the fruit and the number of calories per 100 grams will be given, as well as the period of maturation in our latitudes:

1. Watermelon - 30 kcal / 100g. - (The second half of July - August);
2. Apricot - 48 kcal / 100g. - (Second half of June - first half of July);
3. Banana - 89 kcal / 100g.
4. Grapes - 67 kcal / 100g. - (End of August - September);
5. Cherry - 32 kcal / 100g. - (End of June - July);
6. Pears - 42 kcal / 100g. - (End of July - August);
7. Melon - 28 kcal / 100g. - (The second half of July - August);

14. Blueberries - 44 kcal / 100g. - (July);

As the calorie table of fruits shows, the greatest imprint on the figure can leave excessive consumption of banana, grapes and persimmons. But all the fruits are best eaten 4 hours before bedtime, so that the carbohydrates in them contain the carbohydrates.

Particular attention should be paid to the culture of their consumption. After all, calories in fruits are not more important than their safety. Several recommendations on this topic do not interfere:

• In order not to lose the most useful, you should not peel off the pears, plums, apples that have grown in your area. After all, the skin contains most of the vitamins, fiber;
• But if you buy fruit from far abroad, it is better to clean them first. Because in the peel and skin can accumulate a lot of nitro compounds, applied to maintain an attractive appearance.

It is necessary to mention the content of vitamins, nutrients in fruits. Red and orange ones have a high content of vitamin C, which protects the body from stress and infections. And folic acid, beta-carotene is a good prevention of cardiovascular and oncological diseases.

Meanwhile, the berries for the content of useful substances are not inferior to fruits, and in many ways exceed them. For example, the content of vitamin C in sea-buckthorn, dog rose, strawberry is significant. A vitamin P in blueberries, red grapes strengthens the walls of the capillaries. Berries are also good because they do not lose their useful properties when frozen and can be stored for a long time. Therefore, when preparing your favorite fruit salads, do not deprive yourself of the berries. Because of this, the calorie content of the fruit salad will not increase much, but the degree of utility will increase.

The most accessible, dietary and universally useful can be called an apple, this is shown by the calorie table of fruits. It is rich in cellulose, pectin, iron, potassium, and this is far from a complete list of all its useful substances. Moreover, you can buy domestic apples almost all the year round, changing only varieties. Also apples are not the most high-calorie fruit.

So, eat fruits and enrich the body with vitamins. But do not forget about the useful crops and the source of protein - meat.
