Nectarines! So first off, nectarines are a type of peach without the fuzz, and they have twice the amount of vitamin A and a little bit more vitamin C as well. Packed full of antioxidants, nectarines provide copper, potassium, and B3 vitamins to your diet. Why is copper good for you? Apparently foods that are rich in copper help form red blood cells, bones, and connective tissue. Copper also helps process cholesterols and boost your immune system. So anyhoo, back to nectarines, they also help you absorb iron in your food, and iron is crazy important for your body’s developmental health. That’s some good fruit right there!
