Have you tried dragon fruit? It’s high in vitamin C, and the purple version (depicted here) is packed with antioxidants. The purple color is indicative of anthocyanins, which give fruit and vegetables their deep purple color. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals, which can damage cellular DNA.
Dragon fruit is not always readily available as fresh produce. Remember that frozen fruit and vegetables are just as good as fresh, and sometimes better, because they’re picked at peak season and ripeness. My freezer is always stocked with frozen fruit and vegetables!
