Elderberries are known to be a rich source of flavonoids, especially anthocyanins, which give the fruit its characteristic dark purple color. Other flavonoids include quercetin, kaempferol and beta-carotene and the berries also contain phenolic acids, tannins and essential oils. Elderberries are rich in potassium and a good source of calcium, iron, phosphorus and vitamin C

Like other blue and purple fruits, concord grapes contain abundant polyphenols such as flavonoids like resveratrol and other compounds like hydroxycinnamic acids, catechins and methyl anthranilate, the aromatic compound responsible for the concord grape’s unique aroma and flavor. They also contain moderate amounts of vitamin C and potassium.

Inulin is a soluble dietary fiber (carbohydrate), and because of the β–(2←1) configuration of the fructosyl-fructose glycosidic linkages, it is resistant to digestion in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Once it reaches the colon it is fermented by the gut microflora and helps in the metabolism of compounds, mainly short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which promote health benefits.

Famous for their sour taste as a result of their high citric acid content, lemons are also an excellent source of naturally occurring vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, and contain the plant compound, citrus limonin. Like other citrus fruits, lemons contain a variety of phytochemicals like the flavonoid glycosides hesperetin, naringin, and naringenin, as well as containing smaller amounts of flavonoids like ß-carotenes, ß-cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin, and lutein. They are a good source of dietary fiber and contain a number of vitamins and minerals, including B-vitamins (niacin, folate, thiamin, riboflavin, folate, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine) as well as zinc, magnesium, copper, iron, calcium and potassium.*

An excellent source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and a good source of citric acid and citrates, oranges are a very good source of dietary fiber, as well as a good source of potassium, calcium, folate and vitamin B1 (thiamin). They contain a wide variety of phytonutrient compounds including citrus flavanones like hesperedin and naringenin, carotenoids like beta-cryptoxanthin, as well as anthocyanins, hydroxycinnamic acids and a variety of other polyphenols. Despite being comprised of mostly carbohydrates and water, with very little protein or fat, oranges have a low glycemic index, due to their high fiber and polyphenol content.

Traditionally used as an adaptogen, Panax ginseng’s primary bioactive compounds are ginsenosides (triterpene saponins), of which about 50 types have been identified. It also contains phytonutrients such as polyactylene compounds, triterpenoids and phytosterols. Panax ginseng is a good source of polysaccharides and several B vitamins, and contains vitamin C and E, choline, calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, phosphorous, and zinc.

Papaya fruit is known mostly for the enzyme papain, which assists the digestion of proteins, as well as other enzymes that help the body digest and utilize important nutrients. Papaya is rich in beta-carotene (provitamin A) and flavonoids, as well as folate, potassium, iron, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamins C and E. It is also a good source of dietary fiber

Peaches contain many antioxidant phytonutrients, including chlorogenic acid, catechins and epicatechins, gallic acid, ellagic acid, rutin, isoquercetin, carotenoids and cyanidin derivatives, as well as vitamins and minerals.

Pomegranate’s ruby red color is a result of its rich content of anthocyanins. It also contains abundant ellagitannin compounds such as granatin B and punicalagin, as well as punicic acid. The fruit is a very good source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, and a good source of calcium, copper, potassium, manganese, vitamin C and K, and B-complex vitamins such as pantothenic acid, folates, pyridoxine, niacin, thiamin and riboflavin.
