Sorbet is usually made with fresh or frozen fruit, such as berries, citrus, mango, pineapple or watermelon, that provide vitamin C and antioxidants. Vitamin C is essential for immune system health, collagen synthesis and wound healing. Antioxidants can help protect the cells from oxidative stress and inflammation, and may have benefits for the skin, eyes and heart.

Sorbet does not contain any wheat, barley, rye or oats, which are the sources of gluten in most frozen desserts. Gluten is a protein that can cause digestive problems, inflammation and autoimmune reactions in some people. Sorbet can be a safe and delicious option for people who need to avoid gluten in their diet.
