List your top 5 favorite fruits.
The thing about fruits is that they are usually our favourite food on the healthier side when we actually start making sense of eating as our past miniature self. They are sweet and require a bit less convincing as compared to veggies. Ask my mother who had to run behind me with food in her hand all the time.
I think fruits are among the perfect snacks, most of them taste good in their own unique manner. They are nutritious and very fulfilling, especially the one which gives us a sufficient amount of hydration.
The part about fruits which I like the best, is that they can always be changed into juice or smoothie and along with a pinch of rock salt like I prefer they are something I really love to have.
So, my top favourites among fruits are, number one is definitely musk melon, sometimes I think I can eat through them endlessly. I have been eating them since I have started eating fruit and I distinctly remember their taste developing throughout my humble history on this planet.
You might have guessed right or not, watermelon comes next, mainly because it makes one of the most refreshing juices, I mean who does not love a glass of cool watermelon juice during the summers, they are instant favourites.
Guava comes third. I find its taste when paired with a sprinkle of rock salt unique and unparalleled. Although I must mention their softness should be taken into consideration or else eating them might not be such a comfortable experience.
Fourth, mango. Everyone loves mango and its flavour, it’s only evident by the variety of mango flavoured eatables in the market and by all means it deserves the praise, they taste so good. There was a time when I could find a person selling mango shake everywhere around my neighbourhood.
My fifth favourite food is banana. They are fulfilling to eat, taste great by themselves or in various different forms they are consumed in and they have a bit of a cultural implication here where I belong. I especially love to eat banana chips and for that very reason we very rarely bring them at home, because they will be gone instantly and I will be guilty.
In the end, keep eating those fruits, live a healthy life and enjoy it before one fine day, a doctor hands you a list of things you cannot eat and you find your favourite fruit among them.
