Vitamins and minerals are both micronutrients or nutrients required by our body in small amounts. Since the human body cannot synthesise all the required minerals and vitamins, they need to be obtained through diet. The major difference between the two is that minerals are inorganic in nature and vitamins are organic compounds. Both are found in vegetables and fruits.
