Fun Nutrition News and Facts You'd Never Guess - Issue 2
1. Potatoes Were the First Food Grown in Space
In 1995, NASA and the University of Wisconsin collaborated to grow potatoes in space aboard the space shuttle Columbia. This experiment was part of a larger effort to develop sustainable food sources for long-term space missions. Talk about out-of-this-world nutrition.

2. Bell Peppers Have More Vitamin C Than Oranges
While oranges are famous for their vitamin C content, bell peppers actually contain even more. A single cup of chopped red bell pepper provides nearly three times the vitamin C of an orange. Plus, they're low in calories and rich in health-giving plant chemicals known as antioxidants, making them a perfect snack.
Reference: Howard, L. R., et al. (2000). Antioxidant activity and fruit quality changes in bell pepper. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 48(4), 1713-1720.
3. Avocados Are Actually Berries and Have Many Benefits
Surprise. Avocados are technically berries. They contain one large seed, fitting the botanical definition of a berry. Avocados are also nutritional powerhouses, full of healthy fats, fiber, potassium, and vitamins C, E, and K.
In addition, there are many studies showing the benefits of avocado for heart health, as well as for weight management and anti-aging effects.
