Vitamin E is an essential nutrient for our health as it protects us from harmful free radicals, caused by toxins in the environment. Including foods filled with vitamin E in your diet is the best way to keep optimal levels of this vitamin in your body. Being a powerful antioxidant, having a vitamin E balanced diet is important as it will contribute to your immune system and will promote healthy skin, hair and nails.

That’s why we’ve compiled a list of our favourite vitamin E filled fruits to help you get the best source of this vitamin:

Avocado

You may have seen avocados posted across your Instagram feeds and making an appearance in your recipe books, but do they live up to their hype? The answer is, yes! If you didn’t already know, just 1 avocado contains 20% of the required daily intake of vitamin E. In addition, they are also rich in fiber, low in carbohydrates and loaded with carotenoids. So why not kick-start your day with some avocado on toast?

Kiwi

Another great source of vitamin E are kiwi fruits; just 1 cup of this fruit contains 13% of vitamin E. They are also loaded with many other vitamins such as vitamin K and vitamin C, which cooperate well with vitamin E as an antioxidant and contribute to healthy, glowing skin.
