The Mysterious Mangosteen
Mangosteen is very mysterious. Unlike oranges and apples, mangosteen in the produce department is rarely seen.

Growing up, I remember going to the strawberry patch during the summer months. My brother and I had the responsibility of preparing and washing the strawberries. Some summers, we had to wash and clean the summer fruit in the bathtub because we picked so many!

Oh My, It's Okra!
I've known very little about okra. I remember working the kitchen line and having to slice okra for our appetizer menu. I didn't like the slimy texture, nor the seeds inside of the oblong form. The stringy film with every julienne cut convinced me okra wouldn't be one of my favorite foods to eat.
