No health loss in cut fruit

A study has found that cut and chilled fruits retain much of their nutrients for more than a week despite looking less fresh. This dispels common perceptions that processed and refrigerated fruits tend to lose their nutrients over several days.

Freshly-cut pineapples, mangoes, rock melons, watermelons, strawberries and kiwi fruits retained most of their Vitamin C and anti-oxidants for up to nine days. Anti-oxidants such as carotenoids and phenolics are plant-based nutrients that help to keep our body cells healthy and fight against diseases: http://www.channelnewsasia.com.
