Among all seasonal products, the title of “most useful” belongs to berries.

Amy Hudson, a nutritionist and specialist at the Texas Sports Medicine Center, is sure of this. According to her, berries contain an abundance of fiber, vitamin C, and flavonoids, powerful antioxidants.

For example, just one cup of raspberries or blackberries contains 8 grams of dietary fiber - this amount covers 32% of the daily requirement for a person.
