Nectarine, Prunus persica var. nectarina / Rosaceae
Benefits for the health
The quantity of vitamin C in nectarines is scarce. An average-sized fruit supplies approximately 10% of the recommended daily consumption, 60 mg/day. Vitamin C is necessary for the formation of collagen, and at the same time that it plays a role in the synthesis of the neurotransmitters. Vitamin C protects against various types of cancer and intensifies the immunological functions. The pro-vitamin A carotenoids amount is also low; an average-sized nectarine provides approximately 10% of the recommended daily consumption, which is around 1200-1500 µg retinol/day. Vitamin A is important for the sight, growth, the bones development, to keep the body tissues, for the reproduction and development of the hormonal role and the Co-enzymes, besides protecting against cancer. A higher consumption of carotenoids has been related to a decrease of the risk of contracting various types of cancer.
