What is a Fruitarian

A fruitarian is someone who follows a dietary lifestyle known as fruitarianism, which primarily consists of consuming fruits, seeds, nuts, and other plant-based foods that can be harvested without harming the plant. Fruitarians typically avoid grains, and vegetables, although some may include varying amounts of these foods in their diet.

It's important to note that while a fruitarian diet can provide a variety of nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, it may also be deficient in certain essential nutrients, such as protein, calcium, iron, vitamin B12, and omega-3 fatty acids. Consequently, maintaining a well-balanced fruitarian diet requires careful planning and consideration to ensure adequate nutrient intake and prevent deficiencies.

As with any way of eating, individuals considering fruitarianism should consult with a holistic healthcare professional or registered dietitian to ensure that their dietary choices support their overall health and nutritional needs.

At Back to the Fruiture we see no reason or benefit in becoming overly dogmatic about what is means to be a fruitarian. Implementing grains, legumes, and vegetables as needed can be a perfect complement to a high fruit lifestyle.
