I can't say which one is my favorite because i have fruit a lot every day. in general i eat banana, apple, pear, nectarin, mandarin, sweet melon and strawberry every day. if i really need to choose one i think strawberry is it because it gave me the feeling of freshing and healthy. I feel lucky here in the uk I have plenty of fruit to choose no matter in the winter or in the summer.

There is nothing like the mangoes we have here in the Philippines. The juiciest and sweetest... There was once a time when I went to another province for a couple of days visit but I wasn't really so fond of the food. Our hosts, however, always had mangoes on the table each mealtime. What I did was eat a little of the main course, then consume about 3 or 4 mangoes. It sure was very filling. And guess what, after a couple of days, I actually lost weight! Way to go...

I like banana's becase it is the king of fruits and it is so interesting to learn about it.this is what i just read let me share withyou all- Bananas come in a variety of sizes and colours; most cultivars are yellow when ripe but some are red or purple-ish. The ripe fruit is easily peeled and eaten raw or cooked. Depending upon cultivar and ripeness, the flesh can be starchy to sweet, and firm to mushy. Unripe or "green" bananas and plantains are used in cooking and are the staple starch of many tropical populations. Most production for local sale is of green cooking bananas and plantains, as ripe dessert bananas are easily damaged while being transported to market. Even when only transported within their country of origin, ripe bananas suffer a high rate of damage and loss. The commercial dessert cultivars most commonly eaten in temperate countries (species Musa acuminata or the hybrid Musa × paradisiaca, a cultigen) are imported in large quantities from the tropics. They are popular in part because being a non-seasonal crop they are available fresh year-round. In global commerce, by far the most important of these banana cultivars is 'Cavendish', which accounts for the vast bulk of bananas exported from the tropics. The Cavendish gained popularity in the 1950s after the previously mass produced cultivar, Gros Michel, was being destroyed by Panama disease, a fungus which attacks the roots of the banana plant. It is common for fruit exports to contain minor traces of chemicals from their home countries, such has been the recent case within the Russian village of Kholuy. Minor traces of the radioactive substance Trininite were spread by the wind over the towns main banana field, however no serious casualties occured. Also the common case for fruit exports is for them to be dominated by a single or very few cultivars. The most important properties making 'Cavendish' the main export banana are related to transport and shelf life rather than taste; major commercial cultivars rarely have a superior flavour compared to the less widespread cultivars. Export bananas are picked green, and then usually ripened in ripening rooms when they arrive in their country of destination. These are special rooms made air-tight and filled with ethylene gas to induce ripening. Bananas can be ordered by the retailer "ungassed", however, and may show up at the supermarket still fully green. While these bananas will ripen more slowly, the flavour will be notably richer, and the banana peel can be allowed to reach a yellow/brown speckled phase, and yet retain a firm flesh inside. Thus, shelf life is somewhat extended. The flavour and texture of bananas are affected by the temperature at which they ripen. Bananas are refrigerated to between 13.5 and 15 °C (57 and 59 °F) during transportation. At lower temperatures, the ripening of bananas permanently stalls, and the bananas will turn grey

Dear friend, I do like most of the fruits like apple, avocado, mangoes, strawberries, cherries etc. Also I do like fruit salads and various soft drinks, juices and shakes made from fruits. It may be noted the proverb "An apple a day keeps the doctor away". Fruits are considered once as the basic food of humans. Adam and Eve had ended and began their life with fruit like apple.
