Fruit salad is a mixture of different type of chopped fruit served in syrup or juice. In as much as eating this individual fruit that make up the fruit salad offers a great nutritional benefit; you don’t just get a wider variety of nutrients by eating more fruits.
The nutrient available in this fruit works together to produce even more powerful health benefits than any single fruit could alone. Let’s think of it like compounding interest; but in this case with fruit.

This is a family favorite that is a ‘must-have’ and ‘must-eat’ at every holiday, especially at Christmas season.
