Fruits of the garden


All of us know that fruits and vegetables have abundant vitamins that is crucial for us. I was trying to find out which fruits contain a good source of Folate (Vitamin B9) which is important for women trying to conceive. Folic acid is vital for proper cell growth and development of the embryo. That is why it is important for a woman to have enough folate/folic acid in her body both before and during pregnancy. I found it in the website:

Vitamin B9 is found in:
Kiwi
Blackberries
Tomatoes
Orange
Strawberry
Bananas
Cantaloupe

It is also contained in some vegetables & nuts. Do take a look at the website for more vitamin B9 sources.
