At the Fresh Fruit Markets we not only strive for quality, but we also like to promote healthy eating.  We all agree that eating 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables a day is an essential part of maintaining good health. 

Almost all fruit and vegetables are naturally low in fat, calories and sodium (except celery which contains organic sodium), but high in fibre and vitamins.

Spinach contains high amounts of iron.  Iron is good for the blood; in particular, it's essential to the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and myoglobin, which carries oxygen in muscles.  To help your body absorb iron from fruit and vegetables, try to include a food item high in Vitamin C in the same meal.  Capsicums (especially red capsicums) are rich in Vitamin C.
