Minerals

 

For your recommended daily intake in relation to the recommended daily intake of minerals, tamarillos can contribute to intakes of potassium, manganese and copper.

Potassium is found in body fluids and is essential for the proper functioning of cells, including nerves.  It’s important in preventing high blood pressure. 

Manganese, like many other minerals, is an important part of enzymes (particularly those involved in amino acid, cholesterol and carbohydrate metabolism) and it is also involved in the formation of bone.

The body needs copper to be able to use iron properly.

Other important minerals available from tamarillos include: selenium, phosphorus, boron, zinc, iron, chromium and molybdenum.
