I can't remember the last time I bought fruit for my home. I need to get some fruit for the boys. I was given some fruit by a co worker of mine. I thought that was very nice of her. I hope one day I can add a bowl of fruit to my dining table. My boys are active and need more fruit. What is your favorite fruit to eat? I like apples and oranges.

I have fruit everyday. It is good for digestion because it is high in fiber. Basically I love all kinds of fruits, but my staples are apples, pears, oranges, grapes, grapefruit. I also like kiwi, pineapple and strawberry, but can't have them all the time. When I go home to my parents house, there's guava and passionfruit. Berries are also good, but they're expensive here because we import them.

Oh, I forgot to add bananas. They're very healthy. And mangoes! (But they're seasonal). We live in the tropics so there's a lot of cheap but yummy fruits. I also love these - longgan (dragon eye fruit), rambutan (tico berry? from Ugly Betty), lanzones...etc.

I like eating fruits, various kinds of fruits. When I travel to tropical countries, there I would not miss the chance to have the fruits of the countries too. Mango is one of my favorites. There are different types of mangos, and they do have diffirent tastes too, each one is enjoyable. Back home, I don't think I am eating enough fruits, just once ina while. More often , I would drink fruit juices of different kinds.

Hi, It is important to eat fruits everyday for our easy digestion. For me, I always buy some fruits at home,let my husband,my son and I myself eat. Most of the time, I will buy either apple,pears,grapes or kiwi. Once a while, I will buy watermelon. it is good to eat watermelon during hot weather. I also like to eat mangoes and oranges.I like those Mandarin Oranges. It taste sweet and juicy.

I love strawberries and bananas. I love all fruits, actually, but we rarely have them in the house because they're so expensive to buy fresh, and frozen fruit just doesn't taste the same. So, sadly, I haven't been eating as much fruit as I should be.

Hello Linda. Good morning to you. I like apples and oranges too. But, more often, I drink apple and orange juices. I don't get to eat the fruits often. I suppose, when I am in a bit of a hurry at breakfast time to get to work on time, I just have to be satisfied with drinking the juices. Have a nice day !

Hey Linda~ I also don't eat alot of fruit and I love it! But, not only is it very expensive, but the Pathmark that I shop in has the worst produce. I love melons the most. Honeydew and Canteloupes are my favorites! I like plums, green grapes, strawberries and blueberries! I wish I could find some decent reasonably priced fruit somewhere else. We're supposd to be getting a Shoprite a little further down from the Pathmark where I shop now and I'm hoping that it is a nicer store!

Hi linda!. My family loves fruit we always had it a home, because its not to expensive in my country especially for seasonal fruit. My favorite is seedless watermelon and mango. I can eat watermelon anytime I want but for mango I had to wait for its season. The popular fruit in my country is papaya and banana because you can easily find it every where and really cheaps you can get it a kg for 30 cent.

I love fruits! I don't eat vegetables so my mom makes it a point to make eat a fruit everyday. I love all kinds of fruits. I especially like grapes, mangoes, and pineapples. I think I could live with only fruits everyday. They're very nutritious and very delicious. I'm actually thankful that fruits exist. Because good grief, I can't imagine myself eating vegetables just to get the fiber that my body needs.

I know I need to eat more fruit, but it is so expensive. Bananas are the cheapest around here. Luckily, I love them. My favorite fruits are cantaloupes, watermelon, grapes, apples, and bananas.
