Say hello to summer....bring out the fruits

**heydespo5269** · 05-11-2007, 01:06 PM

Hey guys-

Summer is upon us, fresh fruit should be on its way soon at good prices and quality, and I wanted to make a thread where we could talk about our favorite fruits and how to incoporate them into our diets. Unfortunately, I'm not that much of an expert on fruit and nutrition, although I do know a shitload about fruit growing and etc. cause I work in a fruit market come july.

Anyhow, I love watermelon blueberries, strawberries, and peaches.....corn too, but that's kinda veggie.

thought somebody may want to break down some fruits and what's good aobut them, when to eat them etc.

Straberries, blueberries, alot of berries are a good source of carbs, apples, pears, a bunch of these fruits have a low rating on the glycemic load index.

For the guys that have a sugar craving its great because fruits all taste really sweet.

contain alot of fibre and acid so your food breaks down easily...thats why if you eat too much fruit, you get diaorrhea

Antioxidants in excess amounts turn into pro-oxidants and if you take too much vit. C yes you will get diarrhea.

I'm with you on that one MyGeeto. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my bananas. Plain, in a shake, anytime, anywhere. Plus, I really liked it when Kevin Spacey's character chomped right through one, skin & all in the movie 'K-PAX'

"The produce alone makes a visit to Earth worth the trip"

I like strawberries too, even in the winter when they're for shit in comparison to summer. And peaches, but only when they are at their best.
