Its honey is known to be rich in copper, which helps keep hair moisturized.

Custard apple
Its consumption is recommended for people with high blood pressure due to its high potassium content, or for those suffering from constipation because it is high in fiber.
Guava
We know it is good for preventing respiratory diseases due to its high levels of vitamin C, but it also delays premature aging of the skin.

Lime
It has detoxifying properties that help the liver eliminate toxins that could even cause cancer.
Mandarin
The tangeretin, a bioflavonoid found in its peel and to a lesser extent in its juice, has been studied as an element that may prevent certain types of cancer, such as leukemia.

Jícama
A cup of this provides more than 15% of the folic acid we need per day, as well as over 100 milligrams of potassium.
Tamarind
It has been found to function as a laxative and has antibacterial properties. Additionally, research indicates that tamarind extract may help combat dryness in the eyes.

Tejocote
Among its components, we find pectin, a substance used in the beauty industry to make firming products.
Passion fruit or Chinese pomegranate
In other places, it is known as 'passion fruit', and it has been observed that the polyphenols in its seeds could relax blood vessels and thus prevent cardiovascular problems.
