We’ve ranked the seven qualifying super fruits from the CDC list of powerhouse fruits and vegetables, many of which are summer fruits that are perfect to stock up on in this heat. When it comes to powerhouse, nutrient-dense fruits: think citrus and berries. Stick some grapefruit slices or berries in your water to keep hydrated this summer and replenish vital nutrients.
#7 Grapefruit (White)
Although white grapefruit is not as nutrient-dense as its cousin (with a nutrient density score of 10.47) the pink or ruby red grapefruit, one half of a grapefruit is only 39 calories and contains between 65 and 75 percent of your daily dosage of vitamin C.
#6 Blackberries
Blackberries not only taste delicious, they’re also one of the most nutrient-rich fruits you can eat, with a CDC score of 11.39. A 2009 study published in the medical journal Nutritional Neuroscience proved that blackberries can significantly improve cognitive function. Plus, they are packed with omega-3s and are heart-healthy, too.
