Nutritional contents
Pineapple is a good source of manganese (76% daily value (DV) in a one US cup serving) and vitamin C (131% DV per cup serving). Mango contains a variety of phytochemicals and nutrients. Carrots are rich in antioxidants and minerals. The latter two fruits contain carotenoids.
People consuming diets rich in carotenoids from natural foods, such as fruits and vegetables, are healthier and have lower mortality from a number of chronic illnesses.
