Fruits with the most vitamin E

🥭 Fruits with the most vitamin E, according to dietitians

  • 🔛 Vitamin E works as an antioxidant that helps fight inflammation throughout the body. While nuts and seeds top the charts, some fruits quietly add their share to your daily needs - especially when eaten with a bit of healthy fat. According to New York City Nutrition, vitamin E anti-inflammatory action supports heart, brain, and skin health.
  • 🔛 Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant, meaning it fights inflammation in the body. Because of this anti-inflammatory role, vitamin E is beneficial for immune health, heart health, eye health, brain health, and skin health.
  • 🔛 Adults need about 15 milligrams a day, according to the National Institutes of Health. Deficiency is rare, but it’s smart to get vitamin E from a variety of foods. Fruits alone don’t provide large amounts, but they can complement vitamin-E-rich foods like almonds or sunflower seeds.
  • 🔛 Since vitamin E needs fat for absorption, pair fruit with something creamy or crunchy - like yogurt, olive oil, nuts, or seeds - for best results.
  • 🔛 Here are some fruits that naturally offer vitamin E:

  • 🍊 Sapote 1 cup = 3.7 mg vitamin E. A tropical favorite with rich orange flesh and a flavor somewhere between pumpkin pie and sweet potato, with hints of honey and almond, Sapote is great fresh, blended in shakes, or scooped over ice cream. It also packs calcium, iron, potassium, and vitamins A and C.
  • Blackberries 1 cup = 1.7 mg vitamin E. Deep color, bold flavor, and plenty of antioxidants, Blackberries are high in fiber and low in calories. Dietitian Keri Glassman calls them her top fruit for fighting inflammation.
  • 🥭 Mango 1 cup = 1.5 mg vitamin E. The “king of fruits” brings more than tropical sweetness, Mango supports digestion, helps you feel full longer, and delivers both vitamin A and E in one juicy package.
  • 🍉 Guava 1 cup = 1.2 mg vitamin E. This fragrant fruit has a flavor that lands between strawberry and pear, Guava is also one of the highest-fiber fruits and surprisingly rich in protein for a fruit.
  • 🍑 Persimmon 1 fruit = 1.2 mg vitamin E. An autumn favorite that looks like an orange tomato but tastes sweet and mellow, Persimmons are rich in vitamins A and C and make a colorful, fiber-filled snack or dessert.
  • Avocado 1 fruit = 0.9 mg vitamin E. Creamy, mild, and versatile, Avocado’s healthy fats help your body absorb vitamin E while protecting heart health. Try it on toast, in salads, or as a smooth butter substitute in baking.

The secret Brain Food growing in my backyard (and it tastes like green peas!)

Tropical Asparagus (Sauropus androgynus)

🏆 The secret Brain Food growing in my backyard (and it tastes like green peas!)

  • 🌿 Katuk, or Tropical Asparagus (Sauropus androgynus), is one of the most underrated edible plants you can grow. This leafy tropical shrub is a superfood in disguise. It grows fast, looks lush, and its tender young shoots taste just like green peas.
  • 🌿 Native to Southeast Asia, Katuk is a kitchen staple in places like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand. The leaves and shoots are used in soups, stews, and stir-fries with egg or seafood. It’s not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious - rich in nutrients linked to improved memory and reduced cognitive aging: folate, lutein, and especially vitamin K, which is rare in plants.
  • 🌿 Katuk thrives in sun or partial shade, needs little care, and grows into a dense, bushy plant that gives you edible greens all year round. If you want something that feeds both your garden and your health, this one’s a winner!

Cashews: more magnesium than almonds!

Cashews: more magnesium than almonds!

Cashews: more magnesium than almonds!


  • 🌰 Cashews might be the real nutty winner when it comes to magnesium. One ounce provides about 83 mg, or roughly 20% of your daily need, slightly topping almonds at 76 mg, according to Verywell Health.

  • 🌰 Magnesium plays a key role in your body’s daily operations - it helps your heart, muscles, and bones function properly, keeps blood pressure steady, and supports your energy and metabolism. Yet many people still fall short of getting enough.

  • 🌰 Along with magnesium, cashews are packed with protein, healthy fats, copper, zinc, and iron - all nutrients your body depends on.


🏆 More magnesium-rich fruit:



Avocado


Avocados are famous for their healthy fats, but they’re also surprisingly high in magnesium - about 58 mg per medium fruit. That’s one of the highest amounts among fruits. Their creamy texture and fiber content make them especially gentle on the stomach, helping digestion and easing constipation. Regularly adding avocado to meals can support gut health, muscle function, and overall mineral balance in a naturally delicious way.

🍍 Pineapple


Best known for its enzyme bromelain, pineapple also provides a helpful 20 mg of magnesium per cup. While not the top source, it offers a rare combination of fiber, enzymes, and minerals that benefit the digestive system. Bromelain helps reduce inflammation in the gut, and magnesium keeps digestive muscles relaxed. Together, they make pineapple a light, refreshing choice for better digestion and a balanced system.

✅ How to get more magnesium:

  • • Eat a mix of magnesium-rich foods every day - your body only absorbs about half of what you consume.
  • • Try pairing magnesium-rich sources. Add Cashews, Avocados, Bananas, Pineapple, or Spinach to your meals and snacks.
  • • Remember, caffeine, age, and certain medications can reduce absorption, so balance your diet and check with your doctor if needed.
  • • A handful of cashews can go a long way - for your heart, your energy, and your bones.
