fruits and vegetables. Innovations in fresh-cut products help remove this

rich in fruits and vegetables such as: decreased risk for heart disease,
type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and many types of cancer and the maintenance
of a healthy weight.

between fruit and vegetable intake and health.
