Fruit therapy is defined as the study and application of substances in fruits and vegetables that may be beneficial to health and, in some cases, have a therapeutic effect. This also includes their nutritional properties and the amount of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein and fats which are free of side effects.

Such information is generally applicable primarily to treat nutritional deficiencies, however, fruits are not only food supplements, but they also have substances known as phytochemicals (terpenes, carotenoids, liminidos, and phytosterols).
