Fruit Nutrition Fact Labels Reveal Common, Inexpensive Super Fruits




There has been much media hype about “super fruits” that contain large amounts of a wide variety of nutrients.


These fruits supposedly do all sorts of good for the body, from aiding weight loss to anti-aging and more. However, super fruits are often exotic and expensive. 

How does the individual with little expendable income respond to these costly health trends?

A simple Internet search finds websites that have created fresh fruit nutrition fact labels which look just like the ones on packaged products at 

the grocery store and are equally easy to read and understand. These labels reveal that there are several popular, 

common, inexpensive fruits which may qualify as super fruits in their own right.

First, consider the ever-popular oranges. One cup of orange sections (about one large orange) contains zero grams of fat and 17 grams of sugar. 

Its glycemic load, a number which expresses how much a food spikes blood sugar, is a mere 6. 

(One’s daily total glycemic load should be 100 or less.) A cup of orange sections offers reasonable amounts of fiber and protein, 4 and 2 grams, respectively.

It’s commonly known that oranges are high in the antioxidant Vitamin C; one cup of orange sections supplies 160% 

of the daily recommendation of Vitamin C (as well as significant amounts of folate and potassium). 


What’s less known is that it has an Inflammation Factor of 9, with one’s daily target being 50 or higher. 

Thus, oranges are mildly anti-inflammatory, a property not often seen in other fruits because their 

antioxidant content is insufficient to offset their sugar content (antioxidants are generally anti-inflammatory, but sugar is inflammatory). 

We can’t forget how important this fruit is in the food pyramid. Apples and the almighty cherry need mention too.

One should not underestimate the importance of a fruit’s Inflammation Factor in qualifying it as a super fruit.


Inflammation increases one’s risk of heart disease and diabetes, two of the deadliest non-communicable diseases in the U.S. 

There are two other common fruits besides the orange which are anti-inflammatory: pineapple and cantaloupe.

The nutritional values of pineapple and cantaloupe are surprisingly similar to the orange’s. 


One cup of pineapple or cantaloupe chunks contains zero grams of fat, 16 grams of sugar, 2 grams of fiber and 1 gram of protein. 

The glycemic indexes of pineapple and cantaloupe are 6 and 5. A cup of pineapple chunks supplies an impressive 131% of one’s recommended Daily Value of Vitamin C, with cantaloupe not far behind at 108%. However, 

their Inflammation Factors are particularly impressive: 65 for pineapple and 76 for cantaloupe.

One doesn’t have to search the world or spend a lot of money to find super fruits.

With their low glycemic indexes and high antioxidants, nutritious oranges, pineapples,

and cantaloupes can help one maintain weight and overall health.
