Goldenberries, also called uchuva or cape gooseberries, pack a bright, tangy flavor into a small fruit. They provide vitamin C, which your body needs to make collagen, along with carotenoids that give them their golden color. Try them with plain yogurt or toss a few into a salad.

Slice a star fruit crosswise and you get little stars that brighten up a fruit bowl. Also known as carambola, it provides water and vitamin C, a nutrient involved in collagen production. Enjoy it fresh for its crisp, lightly tart flavor—not as a promise to transform your skin.

Small and intensely tart, camu camu stands out for its vitamin C content. Your body uses vitamin C to make collagen, an important protein in the skin. The amount in the fruit can vary with ripeness and processing, and even a vitamin C-rich fruit won’t erase wrinkles.

Fragrant, sweet, and easy to enjoy fresh, guava is a standout source of vitamin C. This nutrient helps your body produce collagen for normal skin function. Eat the fruit whole if you enjoy its tiny edible seeds, and let its flavor add something new to your snack routine.

Ripe papaya brings vitamin C and carotenoids to your plate—the pigments behind some of its warm orange color. Its soft texture works especially well with plain yogurt or oatmeal. It’s a delicious way to vary the plant foods you eat, even though it won’t change your skin overnight.

Mango pairs natural sweetness with vitamin C and carotenoids. Vitamin C helps your body make collagen, while some carotenoids can be converted to vitamin A. Add a few fresh mango slices to breakfast for a splash of color and another way to enjoy fruit.

Avocado adds creamy texture and unsaturated fats to toast, salads, and grain bowls. Including a variety of plant foods and fats is a practical approach to eating well for overall health, including skin health. Enjoy a portion that fits your meal rather than expecting one food to do all the work.

Pomegranate seeds bring polyphenols, bright color, and a juicy crunch to salads or yogurt. They’re an easy way to mix up the fruits in your routine. Researchers are studying pomegranate compounds and skin health, but eating the fruit is no replacement for sunscreen.
