Description: The soft flesh of the fruit is full of healthy fats, similar to an avocado. While it is perfectly healthy and safe to eat the meat of the Gac fruit, most of the nutritional value lies in the red pulp around the seeds. The Gac fruit pulp is rich in lycopene, beta-carotene, and other antioxidants (antioxidants are vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals that repair your body at the cellular level. Diets rich in antioxidants lower your risk of cancer, dementia, heart disease, and depression making Gac fruit beneficial for these conditions. Gac fruit contains a lot of lycopene. Lycopene is a phytochemical found naturally in fruits and vegetables. It offers miraculous health benefits. It reduces the risk of stroke, sunburn, and cancer. Lycopene is found in naturally red foods. Each time someone bites into a red fruit or vegetable such as watermelon or tomatoes, they boost their lycopene intake. In the U.S., Americans get most of their lycopene from tomato or tomato products. Surprisingly we absorb more lycopene from cooked tomatoes than from fresh ones. In order to get the most lycopene out of tomatoes possible, it is best to eat tomatoes cooked. Fresh is not best when it comes to tomatoes and lycopene. Gac fruit may have up to 70 times more lycopene than tomatoes.
