### How to Enjoy It the Right Way
While it’s tempting to eat this fruit straight from the bowl, experts recommend a specific way to maximize its benefits:
* **Fresh and Raw:** Consuming the fruit fresh preserves its vitamin content, especially vitamin C, which can diminish with cooking.
* **Pair with Healthy Fats:** Eating it alongside healthy fats like nuts or avocado can enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
* **Avoid Excess Sugar:** Skip the added sugars or syrups that can counteract its health benefits.
* **In Salads or Smoothies:** Combine it with leafy greens or blend it into a smoothie for a nutrient-packed meal or snack.
