1. Berries

Tiny powerhouses of nutrition, berries are bursting with healthy compounds, including folate, fibre and phytochemicals, which may help improve memory and reduce the risk for developing heart disease and cancer.

Among other functions, vitamin C helps to strengthen the immune system and protect connective tissue. Strawberries and cranberries are good sources of this important vitamin.

If you do not stop those invasive BRITA interruptions I sill not bother looking at your articles again.

You missed out Guava. "Guavas are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, folic acid, and the dietary minerals, potassium, copper and manganese. Having a generally broad, low-calorie profile of essential nutrients, a single common guava (P. guajava) fruit contains about four times the amount of vitamin C as an orange"

Just F.Y.I. The word you are looking for is 'Carotenoids', not ''cartenoids'.
