I love fruit..but I find that I eat more fruits in the summer time then winter.. Actually I just ran out to the store and bought me some grapes, plums, apricots, oranges and apples.. What type of fresh fruit do you like in the summer?

I eat the same amount of fruits all year long. It does not matter to me what season we are in as I will eat the same amount. Some fruits are better during certain seasons from what I have heard but I can eat fruits anytime and anywhere. I enjoy apples, bananas and pears the most. I also like oranges.

I don't eat anywhere near the amount of fruit that i eat in the summer. In winter i mostly eat oranges, pears, grapes and apples. In summer i eat mango, nectarines, pears, strawberries, bananas, oranges, grapes, apples and satsumas, and some others aswell. We usually have a fruit salad most weekends in summer instead of a small meal at tea time. I enjoy eating fruit more in the summer for some reason. ~joey

I do the same..as you ..My portion of fruit sometimes replaces a meal in the summer time..I don't like cooking and really don't have a craving for hot food;)+

I usually find that I like to eat heavy foods during winter, lots of stews and roast dinners with more basic UK vegetables (carrot, potato, swede etc.) During the summer though, especially if the weather is warm, I prefer to eat salads, fruits, smoothies etc. I don't know whether it's just me or something inherent that goes back to when we were more in tune with the available food around us.

I do love sumer fruits . So yes i probably eat more fruits in the summer time. I love peaches and nectarines best. But also cherries. and blackberries. I am not crazy about apples and oranges but will eat them in the winter when the other fruits aren't available.

I too eat more fruit in summer than in winter. In winter I go for more caloric foods: chocolate desserts and the kind. In summer I eat strawberry, peaches and the whole year banana, imported from Brazil or Ecuador.

Must be something we learn..do you think..that is to eat more fruit in the Summer? Perhaps our bodies needs more calories in winter to keep warm:)+

Actually, I eat a lot of fruit all the time. But the kind of fruit I eat changes as the seasons change. Like, right now in our home we'll be eating more watermelon and other kinds of melon. We eat a lot of vegetables, too. We grow a lot of our own so we we'll have them year round. There are other things we eat that aren't so healthy :( But I can say that we eat enough fresh fruit and veggies!!!

Considering that you can practically pick it off the bushes and the tree or (in our case)falls from the tree, we all do eat more fruit in the summer. It is much cheaper, everything is local, and even the fruit imported from California and Florida does not cost as much than having it imported from Chile and Argentina, where we get our winter fruit from. I like apples, raspberries, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, blueberries, apricots, and bananas. Most of the time, we eat peaches, nectarines, bananas, and apples. I love small fruit and berries, but my husband likes large ones.
