Waxberry is a fruit rich in various nutrients, with the main nutritional benefits including:
1. **Vitamin C**: Waxberry contains abundant vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps boost immunity, protect the body against damage from free radicals, promote wound healing, and enhance iron absorption.
2. **Dietary Fiber**: The dietary fiber in waxberry helps maintain intestinal health, promotes digestion, prevents constipation, and assists in regulating blood sugar levels.
3. **Natural Fructose**: The sweetness of waxberry comes from natural fructose, which provides energy. However, diabetic patients should consume it in moderation.
Waxberries are naturally acidic, and excessive consumption may cause stomach discomfort. Individuals with excessive stomach acid or peptic ulcers should consume them in moderation. If discomfort occurs, prompt medical attention is recommended.
