Fruit comes in all shapes and sizes. From sweet to sour, the taste can vary. From grapes to pineapple to a seasonal watermelon, there are so many choices. Even ethnic centric with mangoes and kiwi from different parts of the globe. Canadians love apples of all kinds. Grapes reach us from California and Chile. Winter fruit of tangerines and oranges can come from Florida and Israel. Learning about the origins can be a geography and history lesson rapped up in one bite. Don't forget bananas- they rarely make it to a platter but are a mini meal with a wrapper from our Central America friends. Fruit is good for us. A quick fix for a low blood sugar! An afternoon snack! Adds colour to any platter whether cheese with a few decorative grapes or cold cuts with slices of cantaloupe. Variety- the spice of life! What would be on your fruit platter of life?
