Before we start our list, it is important to note that it is almost impossible to objectively select the healthiest fruit in the world, so do not consider this list too seriously. Numbers do not necessarily reflect the most precise order, even though the goal was to be as accurate as possible.

Roughly, the general criteria for healthy fruits should be to have as less sugar as possible, and to have as much as possible of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. If the fruit has some medicinal properties, that will be a bonus.

Let’s start from the end of the Top 15 healthiest fruits list so it would be more interesting (Nutrition facts per 100g):

Plum

Plums may not be so rich in vitamins like most of the fruits from our list, but that is far from not being healthy.
