Tropical fruits have been around for ages. The Chinese have harvested lychees for thousands of years. Carambolas have been popular in Malaysia for centuries. The papaya was enjoyed through-out Latin America, long before Columbus arrived in the New World. While the general public may just now be discovering tropical fruits, these delicacies have been staples in many ethnic markets for generations.
Tropical Fruits are an exciting and delicious way for health-conscious consumers to get their daily intake of fruits and vegetables. They're also an excellent source of many essential nutrients, especially Vitamin C. A proper diet of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and dairy products, coupled with lots of exercise, can keep you on the road to good health -- naturally and deliciously.
