Fruits & Vegetables

Warnings !
What you read here are just my thoughts & opinions. This does not mean others think & feel like me on these topics. What the h***, who cares ?


As far as I know, besides cucumber, carrots could be used as both food and powerful weapon. Carrots have many nutrients & vitamins, but I never like to eat them due to their hard textures. I only eat the red ones when they are soft after boiling them with pork-ribs, tomatoes and maize to make into a soup.

From a very young age, I like to eat only red apples as green apples always taste sour. I used to eat apples as whole, but as age is catching up, and with weak teeth, now I have to cut them into smaller pieces before eating them. I've never imagine this fruit could one day be a money-making brand name & trade mark.   

I like babanas too, as they are soft and sweet. A typical fruit for infants (without teeth), and the olds (with weak or no teeth). It is one of the fruits that could fix constipation problems too.

I love to eat papaya too as it is also both soft and sweet. Unlike banana, papaya needs some chewing before swallowing, whilst banana could be swallowed without chewing. Never swallow papaya without chewing, you would choke to death (Warning : Don't try this at home !).

Water-melon is one of my favourite fruit as it could quench thirsts in a hot summer climate like our country. The only set back is its size and weight which is not convenient to carry around. Also, I like to eat it fresh and cold after cutting. 
Durians are also in my fruit list although many shun them due to their strong pungent smell, especially ang-mohs (eurasians). I was told, this fruit has tonic effects on the body. But too much would cause constipation problems. I'm wondering why nobody ever invent the durian-banana or durian-papaya drinks for their complementary effects ? 

Orange is also my favourite fruit after apple. The only problem is it's quite difficult to find sweet ones and sellers never allow you to taste them before sale deal. Sour oranges make me wide awake with my eyes closed. 

For health & well-being, eat more fruits and vegetables.
