Brain-boosting passion fruit

NutritioNist Amanda Hamilton shows how to manage your mood with food… THIS tiny tropical fruit is packed with a huge amount of nutrients for its size. This includes antioxidants, such as vitamin C — which has been found to improve memory and cognitive function and offers several health benefits. Plus, passion fruit is a rich source of beta-carotene. The body converts this into vitamin A, which helps support your immune system.

You eat the seed-filled interior pulp. Try spooning it on top of calcium-rich natural or Greek style yoghurt as a delicious, healthy snack. Each fruit contains only 17 calories.
