The past couple of weeks I have been having a particular craving for fruit. All this thinking about fruit has made me think about the different types I have have had in my life, other than the classic apples or oranges. My personal favorite is the prickly pear. My dad has to make special trips out to the west side of Cleveland to satisfy my cravings for this bright, reddish-pink, seedy and sweet fruit that I wait all year for to be in season. Another favorite of mine is the mango, a more well-known fruit that tastes delicious off the pit, in a smoothie, or frozen. A fruit that may be less common, that I love , is the persimmon. Although it makes my tongue feel rough, the juicy, orange and tasty fruit remains at the top of my list. The pomegranate, another foreign fruit, tastes delicious to eat with a spoon or in the delicious breakfast dish my dad makes on Sunday mornings. Thinking of my favorite fruits makes me so thankful for the healthy and scrumptious treats.

I am afraid that now, after reading this blog, I too have a craving for fruit. These pictures make the fruits look amazing, especially the Prickly Pear! Unfortunately I have never tried a Prickly Pear before or a Persimmon, but they sound delicious. Personally, one of my favorite yet unique fruits is Star Fruit. The shape is pretty cool, but it tastes good too! I also really enjoy Ugli Fruit. Despite it's strange outer-skin, the Ugli Fruit is surprisingly sweet and juicy with few seeds. Instead of encouraging my mom to buy Star Fruit at the store, I will have to convince her next time to purchase a Persimmon for me to try!
ReplyDeleteHannah, my mom will be so happy when I tell her that I read up on some new fruits(thanks to your blog). She begs me to "eat the rainbow," since I do not eat any of the colors in the rainbow unless I just can't see the colors of bread and cookies in there. I plan on making a fruit smoothie with all of the fruits you have listed above. If it tastes good, I'll be sure to let you know.
