QOTD 2/6

Do you have a favorite fruit? Do you eat it often?

[carli]

I love grapefruit but I'm really bad about eating fresh fruit regularly. I pretty much like it all though. Watermelon is another favorite.

[Unknown]

I eat most often bananas, because they last the longest so we always have them in our house. My absolute favorite are peaches from a specific local farm market. When I was pregnant in the summer w/ DD I use to buy a half bushel and eat it all by myself in a weekend.

[redfraggle]

I'd say either apples or bananas are my favorites, apples because they are tasty and fun in slices, and bananas because they are tasty and easy. I've gone through phases where I eat fruit every day, but in general, I don't eat it that frequently.

I did once try a prickly pear with a couple friends on a school trip. It was good but very seedy.

[annarose]

I love strawberries and bananas. I used to be really good about eating fresh fruit but not so much now (wierd since it's always in our house for LO) I have been using my Ninja Blender for smoothies though - to bad it sounds like a jet engine taking off in my kitchen lol

redfraggle - I know have The Bear Necessities stuck in my head ("Now whenn you pick a pawpaw or a prickly pear......"

[junewife]

pineapple! and no, I don't eat it too often.

[redfraggle]

annarose, now I want a smoothie :-)

[fiveohfive]

Mangoes are my favorite, but I don't get to eat them often because they are expensive most of the year in NY.

I eat a lot of bananas and clementines when feeding DD but otherwise don't have fruit around for just me to eat.

I really want a mango, coconut and banana smoothie right now!

[littlefoot]

I always used to keep a huge tupperware container in the fridge full of all kinds of cut fruit. But the last few times I've done it, the fruit went bad before we ate it all.

I do love most fruits. Minus cantaloupe and bananas and strawberries and kiwi. I can't do any of that.

[sugarkissed]

I love fruit in general, but my favourites are fresh berries... blueberries, raspberries and strawberries are my summer staples. I eat them every single day while they are in season, but less in the winter months. I also love watermelon.

I love tropical fruits as well, but only in places where they are local. The quality just isn't the same here!

[joi922]

redfraggle I also now have The Bear Necessities stuck in my head. I'll probably be singing it to DS all weekend

My favorite is in-season peaches. I refuse to eat peaches the rest of the year because I think the texture is just awful out of season.

I love berries and eat them every day for breakfast. We keep a mix of berries and at least one other fruit in the house at all times - I'm not picky about fruit at all, but my husband hates all melons so I don't get that as often anymore.

[RedDDD]

We are protein shake people so like this morning I used pineapple and mango (frozen) in my smoothie. We have blackberry bushes and the kids love them. Or we eat strawberries and blueberries a LOT. I also love kiwi

[mommabakes]

Can my answer just be all fruit? I love it all, except blueberries, and eat it often.

[mosy]

My favorite fruits are strawberries, cherries, pears, and peaches. I have strawberries (frozen) almost every day, and I have pears a few times a week. Peaches I usually just eat in the summer, along with cherries and fresh berries.

I usually have apples, bananas, and blueberries (frozen) daily.

[legitsince86]

When I was pregnant, I ate a ton of fruit. Now I really don't eat as much. I don't have a particular favorite.

I do hate watermelon now. After having LO, I had it and it tasted like cigarettes. I've never smoked though.

[wowcheezits]

I really like pomegranates and I haven't had any in awhile because I was eating them so often that I burnt out from eating them.

Oh, I never think about pomegranates, but we love them, too! They are a part of our holiday celebrations with my mom. DH is always responsible for peeling them (and cleaning up any spills to prevent staining), how he earned a spot in the family .

[krose]

Pineapple, but I don't eat it often because of the high sugar content. Plus I hate preparing a whole one and buying it presliced is so expensive. But I do love it!

[marley629]

I love berries...I always buy them and forget about eating them until they are moldy. Never fails. The only fruit I'm not too fond of is honey dew melon.

[ajaan113]

No clear favorite fruit. Berries are good. Mangoes are good, too. Asian pears, but they are expensive even at places like Hmart.

I don't like jackfruit, durin, and papaya (ripe).

Edit. I also don't like coconuts

[princessvespa1]

I do not eat fruit. I drink OJ with no pulp. Or maybe watermelon in the summer. That's it.

I also don't eat vegetables that often. Like hardly ever.

When I was little my brother used to tease me that I would get scabies.

[redfraggle]

princessvespa1, I think you mean scurvy. Scabies are bugs.

marley629, try washing your berries in a bowl of water with a splash of vinegar. They last a few days longer that way. I learned that last summer and saved myself a lot of money and heartache over moldy berries.

I LOVE fresh cherries, but between the usual asininely high price and the fact that they make my mouth itch, I don't eat them very often.

Thank you!!! I'll def being giving that a try

Oh, want to add that I am OBSESSED with lemons right now. Squeeze over shrimp. Squeeze into water. Straight up eat them. SO delicious.

(No, I'm not pregnant or anything, just weird.)
