Fruits are undoubtedly one of the best gifts of nature, nutritionally speaking. Fortified with a range of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, as well as beneficial compounds for plants, fruits have been revered by humans for their abundance of nutrition. They are also endowed with sugars and natural flavors that we have tried to recreate in many other ways. However, artificial flavors made by man can not be compared to the aroma and natural flavor of fruits and, therefore, we return to these packages of goodness to make our dishes rich, vibrant and full of flavors. One of the most important reasons for humans to consume fruits is a large amount of nutrition they bring with them.
