Top 5 Fruits
We’ll keep the first top 5 blog fairly simple and non-controversial. There are few to no fruits that I DON’T like, but these are the top 5 fruits currently on planet Earth:
Banana - The most versatile fruit of them all. I eat banana plain, in my cereal, on ice cream, on peanut butter sandwiches. There isn’t a place that banana doesn’t go. Banana on my pancakes, or in a muffin. There is only 1 fruit that I even considered putting #1, but it is just not as versatile as a banana. With that being said, number 2 is mango.
Mango - Mango may be my favorite standalone fruit that I eat by itself. Unfortunately, I do not put mango on or in anything else, other than sometimes eating mango flavored ice cream or a smoothie. Due to the lack of versatility, mango will stay in the #2 slot, but I will NEVER turn down a freshly juicy mango. Very little in this world compares to a perfect mango.
Watermelon - There are not many things that are more refreshing than a piece of cold, juicy watermelon on a hot summer day. I will say that some pieces of watermelon can be more water than melon, but I’ve never have a BAD tasting watermelon.
Strawberry - While strawberries are delicious, and strawberry flavored anything is great, you definitely can get bad or sour tasting strawberries. They are another versatile fruit like bananas that I could put on my cereal, eat plain, on ice cream, on cheesecake, etc. If it weren't for the every now and then sour strawberry, this may have been higher on the list. Hard to complain about a dark red, sweet strawberry.
Kiwi - Kiwi is one of the fruits that I just do not eat often enough to put any higher. But I have always loved a good kiwi, and will never turn down a kiwi. Sure, is it kind of weird that it has a hairy shell? Yes. But it’s just one of those things that I liked as a kid so it never bothered me. The more I think about it, the weirder it gets. But I love a good kiwi and it has to crack my top 5.
Like I mentioned before, there are very few, if any fruits that I do not like. I guess maybe dragonfruit, papaya, or another fruit that I have maybe tried a few times in my life and honestly don’t remember enough to even give an honest opinion on. But other than that, every other fruit is an honorable mention. All berries, all melons, apples, oranges, pineapple, cherry, etc. The list could go on forever. Name a fruit and I probably like it. If I don't , or it is a little “exotic",” I will go find it and give it a try just for you.
