For
nearly a century, fruits and vegetables
have been recognized as a good source
of certain nutrients. The USDA and
National Institutes of Health recommend
five to thirteen servings of fruits
and vegetables per day. Unfortunately,
many Australians do not get the
recommended amounts of fruits and
vegetables daily. The beneficial
nutrients in fruits and vegetables
are made up of “phyto-nutrients”
and these nutrients have complex
functions.
