January 2011-10-19T18:57:18Z 2011-10-19T18:57:18Z <p>A deep sense of loss. ;) Seriously though, if you're hitting the veggies that hard, you'll find all the same nutrients. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/71388/forgoing-fruit/71392#71392 Answer by Travis Culp for Forgoing fruit? Travis Culp 2011-10-19T18:57:38Z 2011-10-19T18:57:38Z <p>If you're getting vitamin C, potassium and manganese elsewhere, you'd probably be fine without it. It's kinda tasty though....</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/71388/forgoing-fruit/71394#71394 Answer by Alexandra for Forgoing fruit? Alexandra 2011-10-19T19:00:35Z 2011-10-19T19:00:35Z <p>None. There is nothing in fruit that you can't get from veggies except for sugar/glucose/fructose unless your veggies include tubors. Re vitamin c -- red bell peppers have more vitamin C than citrus fruit. Eat them raw though. </p>
