Fruit of the Day- Pomelo

I had pomelo and soya bean curd for dinner today. Pomelo is one of my favourite fruit as it light with citrus taste and not overly sweet. It is also rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants and helps in digestive system. If I have a plot of land, I will grow lots of pomelo and eat everyday.

Soya bean curd with black sesame seed powder. I like the fragrant black sesame seed powder prepared by my mum. 

Fruit of the Day- Jackfruit

I had four sweet tasty jackfruit for dinner today with milo and black sesame seed powder. This afternoon I also had papaya, apricot, honeydew and pomelo. They are good for health.😊

Sugar Apple/ Custard Apple Fruit

This must be the best fruit that really tastes like dessert yet it is really nutritious and loaded with rich Vitamins A, Vitamins B6 and antioxidant. It has this custard like texture and it is good for the heart, respiratory system and the skin!

However do take note the that seeds are toxic and should be removed first before eating and consume in moderate amount. People who are allergic to it should refrain from eating.

Wow this sugar apple or custard apple looks like giant green strawberry right?😃

Durians Today

Yesterday I had the Queen of Fruits, mangosteen.  Today after dinner, I had the King of Fruits, durians D24. It is rich with nutrients like vitamin C but it is very sweet and creamy like cream custard. But we have to take in moderation as it is very sweet with high calories. I read that one should not eat durian and drink alcohol as it is bad for health. 

I love durian and don't understand why foreigners say that durian has pungent smell. I think it smells fragrant and sweet. What about you?

Exotic Fruit Kiwano

I'm attracted to the bright orange spiky looking fruit known as Kiwano or horned melon imported from New Zealand At Market Place by Jasons. I brought this one exotic fruit to share with my family today. It is quite expensive at $8.95 each.

It is actually native to Africa but is now grown in some European countries, Australia, USA and New Zealand. It is rich with vitamins and minerals and is part of the cucumber and melon family. It is quite sour like lime and I felt like I was eating big cucumber seed. 

You can read this Healthline here on the 7 benefits of Kiwano.

Be careful of the sharp spikes!

This fruit is filled with seeds. It has beautiful cross-section.

Just cut the fruit into small pieces and eat it like watermelon. Do you see a face?

Each kiwano fruit from New Zealand costs $8.95. I decided to buy one and share with my family as we had not eaten this exotic fruit. Its time to try something new. 

I thought the kiwano fruit is expensive until I saw the Melon from Japan which costs $88.00!
