Are tropical fruits healthier than non-tropical ones +why?
Posted by Tropical Gardener on Oct 26, 2009 under Tropical Fruits
It’s probably an unexplained assumption but i’ve heard that fruits that grow in tropical latitudes(e.g-pineapple,passion fruit) are healthier than those which grow in temperate latitudes (e.g- apples,grapes)…….truth or myth?
If it’s true then why is it so?
I could see this being true. I havn’t done any research on it but I guess that tropical fruits have more exposure to the sun and would contain more vitamines that northern fruits would be low on.
Im not sure, but some fruits are less healthy. Those would be the fruits with more natural sugars. All in all, fruits good for you..in moderation!

there are no differences except that certain fruits have more health benefits (blueberries: lots of antioxidants and antocyanes, bananas: potassium etc.) and exotic fruits probably aren’t quite as fresh because they’ve been shipped
