Fruit industry in Europe - statistics & facts
Fruit has been the staple ingredient in our diets for centuries, given its precious contribution in fulfilling human needs in term of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and many phytonutrients (Plant-derived micronutrients). Fruits are low in calories and fat and are a source of simple sugars, fibers, and vitamins, which are essential for optimizing our health. Given these properties, several studies suggest that one should eat at least 2-3 servings of fruit every day.
