Folate Fruit

This is the first of at least 2 key maternal dietary requirements for normal neural development.

Research over the last 20 years has suggested a relationship between maternal diet and the birth of an affected infant, and recent evidence has confirmed that folic acid, a water soluble vitamin, found in many fruits (particularly oranges, berries and bananas), leafy green vegetables, cereals and legumes, may prevent the majority of neural tube defects.

In Australia and other countries foods such as flour, bread or cereals are now fortified with folate.

By the way, the second dietary requirement is iodine.
