The strawberry, the watermelon, the banana, the pear or the apple. All are fruits, yes, but each one brings something different to our children. Do you know, for example, which is the fruit with the most vitamin C? And the most hydrating? We reveal the secrets of the fruits, from the favorites of the little ones, like the banana or the pineapple, to the most unknown even to the parents, like the kadaku.

The fruits that bring more vitamin C to our children

Maybe you have never heard of it, because it is not one of the best known fruits. But kadaku provides twice as much vitamin C as acerola and a hundred times more than orange. It is an Australian fruit with a plum appearance. It is surprising the amount of fruits that we find in the market with a high content of vitamin C, and the myths that are generated around the best known. For example, we tend to think that orange is the fruit par excellence to prevent colds. However, guava, kiwi or strawberry give us more vitamin C. Together with kadaku, the fruits with the most amount of this vitamin are camu camu, acerola and dogrose.

Remember that vitamin C is an antioxidant and helps in the absorption of iron. Prevents cold and strengthens the body's defenses.

The most moisturizing fruits for children

When you squeeze the heat, we mainly look for fruits with a high water content que, that provide hydration to our children. Watermelon is the queen of hydration, followed very closely by the melon: it is composed of 91% water. Watermelon is also rich in potassium. The melon, in turn, is an immense source of properties: fiber, potassium, calcium, folic acid, zinc and vitamins A and E. To make matters worse, its sweet flavor make it one of the favorite "goodies" of the Children during the summer.Other of the most hydrating fruits are strawberries, which have 91% water, and to hydrate, they provide our children with potassium, magnesium and vitamins C, A and E. And also pineapple, with 85% water . It also provides fiber, potassium, iodine and vitamins A, B and C.

What are the favorite fruits of our children?

Of all the fruits, perhaps the favorite of the children is the banana

. It is a very nutritious food, fundamental for the growth of children, because it provides large doses of energy, potassium, folic acid, fiber and vitamin B6 (essential for proper absorption of proteins, carbohydrates and fats).The apple is also very present in the diet of children. Its main advantage is that

provides very few calories and instead offers a large amount of fiber and cysteine ​​ (a good liver detoxifier). Finally, other fruits that children consume the most are pears and oranges (especially in juices). The pear besides being very moisturizing (it has 85% water), it offers potassium, copper, magnesium and vitamins C and B. And orange, apart from vitamin C, gives us fiber, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and vitamins A and B.
