    More than what’s in meat and vegetables? 🤔

    It’s there any fruit with more vitamins and such things than you can find in a corresponding vegetable or meat?

      Complex answers there due to bioavailability, combinations, and palatability. Cow liver has lots of vitamin A but it is liver. Carrots have a lot of A if you eat good fats with them. Sea Buckthorn has more than you need but you also get v.C and lots of other nutrients and it’s a candy.

      Also as primates we are built for fruit.

        Complex indeed.

        Could you explain a bit more about what being “built for fruit” means? Built more for fruit than other things or just built to “handle” it?

          Well it’s just a major part of many primate species’ diets, including hominids. Your mileage may vary depending on gut flora etc but humans eat a lot of fruits in general.

            Just because we do as humans doesn’t mean it’s the most nutritious. Look at the diet of koalas for example.
