Hand-Cut Fruit
From strawberries, grapes, blackberries and blueberries, to peaches, cherries and watermelon, there's nothing quite like the refreshing taste of fruit.
Even better than the taste? The luxury of not having to prepare it!
Brookshire Brothers Cut Fruit* varieties allow you to enjoy your favorite fruits—without the hassle—so you can get to snacking away in no time.
*Fruit variety and availability may vary by location.
Healthy Benefits, Courtesy of Your Favorite Fruits!
- Strawberries: These juicy, red delights are packed with Vitamin C: around a cup of berries has enough Vitamin C for the WHOLE day!
- Grapes: Green and red varieties are a great source of B vitamins and are FULL of a special type of antioxidant called polyphenols (which is fancy for "cancer-fighting superhero").
- Peaches: These guys really have a bit of everything, nutritionally speaking: B vitamins, Vitamin C, minerals, fiber, you name it! Plus, they make for a KILLER fruit cobbler.
- Blackberries: One of the lesser-known qualities of blackberries? They're a good source of folate, which is great for pregnancy, helps prevent heart disease, and is good for the brain, too.
- Blueberries: These little round globes of blue yumminess are known for having one of the highest levels of antioxidants in the fruit world. Did you know they also have a healthy dose of fiber AND are low in calories?
- Watermelon: Keyword: "Water." This summertime favorite is wonderfully hydrating for the heat since it’s full of, ya know, water. It’s also a super source of the antioxidant lycopene (which is great for prostate cancer prevention) and other carotenoids.
- Cherries: These sweet and tart fruits play a hand in lowering blood pressure, aiding in sleep, improving arthritis, and cancer prevention. (Oh, and pie filling. Cherries can do it all.)
- Pineapples: These low-calorie tropical beauties are exploding with Vitamin C and manganese (an important mineral for metabolization), as well as disease-fighting antioxidants, enzymes to ease digestion, and more.
