What We Believe

Fruits are the mature ovaries of flowering plants. They are typically sweet or sour in taste and are often consumed as a snack or dessert. Fruits are rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. Examples of common fruits include apples, oranges, bananas, strawberries, grapes, and watermelons. Fruits come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and flavors. They are an important part of a balanced diet and can contribute to overall health and well-being. Some fruits, like berries, are known for their high antioxidant content, which may help protect against various diseases.
