  1. They’re high in fiber, which helps keep your digestive system in top working order
  2. They contain prebiotic fiber, which helps balance gut bacteria
  3. They’re loaded with vitamins A and C, which help support a healthy immune response, and zinc, a mineral that may help decrease the permeability of your intestines
  4. They’re rich in antioxidants
  5. They’re delicious, hydrating, and filling!
