For the Love of Fruits

I love my fruits.

They are blessings

to humankind—

so many flavors

to choose from!

Full of antioxidants

and dietary fibers,

they are nutritious.

I forage, grow,

and buy them

because they are

a delight to the senses.

They are what

our system loves—

since our ancestors’ time,

fruits have been part

of our natural diet.

Choose your fruits.

Eat them fresh—

for the preservatives-laced

dry fruits are dangerous.

I’ve learned about

all the local plants,

so I pick

the seasonal abundance.

Be that feijoas or passion fruits

Loquats or prickly pears

It hurts to see so much

rot away—

because people are unaware.

Want continuous health?

Make fruits

a regular part

of your diet.

Do you love your fruits? You should, if you don't already.
