Fruits are the best way to beat hunger pangs and keep the body hydrated when the mercury is rising. They are packed with nutrients, and their cooling effect helps to regulate the temperature of the body. Here are a few must-have fruits in this season as warnings for a hot summer continue to make headlines.
Honey or cantaloupe are a couple of varieties of muskmelon that are rich in vitamin C, potassium, fibre, and vitamin A. They maintain the water content of the body.
Sugarcane is a delicious fruit with many health benefits. It might be tough to eat, but you can include it in the diet in the juice form. It is rich in electrolytes and antioxidants.
The king of fruits is mango which is abundantly available in India. It is loaded with vitamins C and A, making it a must-have in this weather.
In India, papaya is also available in a large quantity throughout the summer season. It has digestive enzymes and vitamins E, C, and A. It can also help you with constipation.
Watermelon has probably the highest amount of water content. It has antioxidants and makes for the refreshing base for a mocktail or cocktail in this weather.
Head to any farmer’s market, and you can spot vendors selling pineapples. Much like watermelon, this fruit is also an ideal pick to make refreshing beverages at home.
Jamun is an Indian blackberry with a tangy flavour. It is often savoured with a sprinkle of salt and has cooling properties along with loads of antioxidants.
