A Gift Basket Is The Gift of Health For Everyone

When you get right down to it, to give a gift is to send a message. When we exchange presents, we convey a message of affection, love, gratitude, or simply our best regards for the gift recipient on the occasion in question. And that message, whether we want to admit it or not, is often times remembered long after the gift has been stored away or used up.

Gift baskets are not a new gift idea, but the modern gift basket has something to offer all tastes and to fit any occasion or desired message. Gift fruit baskets and assorted gift baskets provide a healthy alternative to the rich desserts and junk foods so commonly found in the holiday season. They are packed with delicious, succulent fruit and citrus fruit that are rich in both vitamins and important minerals, making them a great health advantage to people of all ages.

Assorted fruit baskets combine a variety of fruits into a single attractive package, meaning they carry not just one type of vitamin and mineral rich sources of nutrition but actually pack several. The list below shows how gift baskets bring so many vital sources of vitamin energy and illness defense to anyone who receives their attractive, delightful gift. Assorted fruit baskets may contain all three fruits and more, or just a rich supply of a particular one.

Oranges

The “big cheese” of all citrus fruit, the sturdy orange is like nature’s multivitamin. Oranges are rich in Vitamin C (of course), which fortifies the body’s immune system and helps develop good bones and tissues. Oranges are also rich in calcium, another bone-building nutrient, and carry good-sized doses of iron, potassium, niacin, zinc, and other important minerals. They’re also rich in fiber, which promotes good digestive strength and heart health.

Grapefruit

Like its cousin the orange, grapefruit brings impressive doses of Vitamin C, iron, potassium, and niacin along with its delicious tart taste. Pink and red grapefruit contain the healthful antioxidant lycopene, which studies show can help prevent osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and even help prevent male infertility.

Tangerines

Sometimes called the “sassy fruit” because of its pert taste, the tangerine is rich in several B Vitamins, including B1, B2, and B3, and also contains the important nutrient beta carotene. It too is rich in Vitamin C but also contains potassium, magnesium, and folic acid, which helps lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.
