2. Apples

Apples are a rich source of a valuable prebiotic soluble fiber called pectin. Found both within the skin and the pulp, apples offer a simple path to obtaining prebiotic benefits via their stimulation of probiotics  in your gut that are able to produce the beneficial short chain fatty acid, butyrate. Don’t worry whether you like them red or green, they can all provide the benefits!

 

 

3. Grapefruit                                                                             

Citrus grapefruit is another of the most refreshing and immune supporting prebiotic fruits to consume. The high fiber content of grapefruit makes it beneficial for digestive health, and it is also high in antioxidant vitamins A and C. Citrus peel is also surprisingly high in prebiotic pectin!
