I was just wondering if I was the only one that doesn't like fruits and veggies that much? The only fruit I eat is apples and I like about 5 different veggies. Who else isn't into fruits and veggies that much?
Sorry, I am from the Love My Veggies brigade! Just wondered if there were reasons why specificly you don't like more fruit for example? Apples tend to be the one type most people dispise, so its qute unique that you only like them.
Have you tried eating fruit when in the season? it tends to be ripe then and tastes sweeter, but tis knowing when fruit is ripe, when its in season and this also depends where you live. One idea is to smell things like berrys and even melon, they should smell sweet and if they don't its normally a sign they need to rest a bit longer to ripen. Leave by a sunny window to help things along and not in the fridge.
Strawberrys can be sweeter depending on the variety as well as the time of year, there are infact hundreds of different varierties of strawberrys and the taste can change accordingly.
Have you tried making smoothies? you still only get one of your 5 a day this way (no matter how much smoothie you drink) but it can taste really nice.
Stifry? works well with veggies, low in calorie if you use a spray dressing rather then loads of oil and very easy to put together. Also minimal vitamin contend lost this way.
Hopefully you will continue to try out new types of fruit and veggies as there are so many out there and things like the weather, the country grown in, the season can all make a big difference to taste and texture so please don't give up trying!
