What is the tiny amount of “fat” found in fruit & veg? and why is it there?
I have just been putting together a nutrition chart for what I eat, taking information off supermarket food labels, and found they list small traces of fat in fruit & veg eg per 100g – carrots (0.3g), kiwi (0.3g), mushrooms (0.5g), strawberry (0.1g), raspberry (0.8g)! Are these naturally occurring and why hasn’t anyone talked about these before? What are they there for?
Yes, these are naturally occurring fats. Basically, there are four types of fats.
1) Mono-Saturated fats
2) Un-saturated fats
3) Trans Fats
4) Lipids.
The top 3 are all bad for you. Lipids are good for you. Fruit and veggies all contain trace amounts of lipids. These are highly healthy and actually are used to store energy and will speed up your metabolism in the long run.
When looking at foods, you also have to figure out what kind of hormones are in them. For example kiwi and rasberries have a high degree of anti-inflammatory hormones which makes them good for reducing insulin and blood sugar. Thus they work while you sleep to keep your sugar cravings down, which will result in weight loss.
