Favourite Fruit?

[joyous fairy]

Assalam alaykum,

What is your favourite fruit and why?

And how do you like to eat fruits? Im hoping to start eating more fruits so would be good if people shared ideas of different ways they eat fruit..

My favourite are mangoes, because I love the sweetness, and tangerines because I love the tangy and soury taste.. :p

[Muslim Woman]

:wa:


dates as Prophet pbuh used to eat it.

unripe mango . Love the taste .

[Woodrow]

Durian---:D

Not really, I never was able to get up the courage to eat one.

Actually, my favorite fruit that is easily available here is strawberries. Not the big cultivated ones but the little wild ones.

Like these in this picture I found online

I love nearly all fruits. of course, all fruits are equal but some fruits are more equal than others. so i do prefer guava and mangoes. i mean, i might get bored of other fruits if i eat too many but i can never have enough of guavas and mangoes.

[cOsMiCiNtUiTiOn]

Mexican Guavas

These are soooo fragrant! I love them because of their creamy texture, tangy hint the peel has and it is not overly sweet... it's just really REALLY good. I get very nostalgic when I eat them too lol, takes me back to my childhood. My grandparents used to have several guavea trees.

and fresh Lychees (in this image u get to see the fruit with the peel, then without and also the pits)

I love Lychees because they are not overly sweet (I don't really fancy super sweet fruit) and when they are just right, they have a hint of rose flavor. I didn't discover these until i was about 20 or 21, but they quickly made it to my top 5 faves. :D

I like me grapes :) I like to bite into the grape slowly, and savour the sweet juices on the tip of my tongue before I pop another into my mouth... up to 4 at a time. nom nom nom nom.

[Re.TiReD]

I eat bananas the most.

Finished off strawberries yday

Started a huge melon today, don't know how long that will take me to eat :hiding:

Requested hubby to bring lychees today, let's see...

Basically I <3 all fruits but I tried something called a custard apple and it just wasn't my cuppa chai.

[Scimitar]

Custard apples, they sour and sweet, and taste slightly sickly... indian fruit, grows in the garden in india (lots of fruit trees there)... I didn't like it at first. But it kinda grew on me, and now I'm craving one lol.

[Raaina]

Lychees, Mango, Grapes and pears are my favourite :)

Oooh Ive never heard of those (I just googled Durian, weird looking at the least :p ) The tiny strawberries look cute, they reminded me of blackberries we used to pick off trees. They were tiny aswell.

Lol at bolded part. Did you ever put salt on your guavas? I know Pakistanis do that :p

[joyous fairy]

I know, right? I hate fruit chaat with the masala in, it doesnt taste right, I had it once at the neighbours house and didnt like it. I dont like cooked fruits either, like in fruit tarts and pies and stuff, I just dont understand why people would ruin it like that. :p

Is sugarcane classed as a fruit? I had some when I went Pakistan, I used to like it but I dont like it anymore. Then again, maybe the one we get in UK stores are a lot different :hmm:

No I don't think it is sis, I just remembered it because periwinkle mentioned lassi which reminds me of pakistan and sugarcane reminds me of pakistan too :p

The ones we get in the UK are dry

[tearose]

I love dates, especially the really soft ones...when I used to go to my friend's house in Ramadan she always had dates and milk with cinnamon for breaking the fast, that goes really well together.
I really like banana or strawberry milkshake.
I also like apples or little oranges like satsumas or tangerines, just to eat as they are

[sister herb]

Many sisters here seem to like the most fruit called "milkshake".

;D

[Hulk]

i dont think i have a fav but i love tis

[Ramadan90]

There are so many fruits that I really like, but if I have to choose one then it will be mangoes.

[Qurratul Ayn]

I like eating blackberries, blueberries, cherries, strawberries, gooseberries, cranberries... I like berries, basically

BUT, above all, I really enjoy DRINKING variety of fruit juices... Rather than eating fruit itself...

:lol:

[Woodrow]

i dont think i have a fav but i love tis

:wa:

That looks like Durian. You are brave.

[username95]

My favourite fruits are mangoes aswell ^^...well its actually the only fruit i enjoy eating, not a fan of fruits.

[Amat Allah]

I love all fruits and some of them are unknown to some people as I noticed, lets just post ya the pics and see if you will:

Sugar apple we call it Shafallah (locally) and people of Sham call it Qishtah, it is the best when it's dark from outside (black)

Pithecellobium_dulce we call it Allawz Al Hindi and has other names too, used to pick it ma way to school (old days)

Kaka, it is so sweet and makes your mouth feels strange

There are many other beautiful local fruits which I am sure that they are unknown to you but couldn't find them online

[ardianto]

Wanna try "honey pineapple" from Subang?. You can buy in Jalan Cagak, when you go from Bandung to Subang.

Mangoes, from Indramayu. The orange colored are "gedong gincu", the most expensive. I always visited mangoes stall like this and bought mangoes when I visited my dad hometown, in Indramayu.

[Amat Allah]

Forgot the Citron

Which has been mentioned in a saheeh hadith:

Imam Al Bukhari and Imam Muslim both narrated in their Sahih the following:

عن أبى موسى الأشعرى قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: مثل المؤمن الذى يقرأ القرآن مثل الأترجة ريحها طيب وطعمها طيب ,ومثل المؤمن الذى لا يقرأ القرآن مثل التمرة لا ريح لها وطعمها حلو ,ومثل المنافق الذى يقرأ القرآن مثل الريحانة ريحها طيب وطعمها مر ,ومثل المنافق الذى لا يقرأ القرآن كمثل الحنظلة ليس لها ريح وطعمها مر

متفق عليه

Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari:

Allah's Apostle said, "The example of a Believer who recites the Quran, is that of a citron which smells good and tastes good; And the example of a Believer who does not recite the Quran, is that of a date which has no smell but tastes sweet; and the example of a hypocrite who recites the Quran, is that of an aromatic plant which smells good but tastes bitter; and the example of a hypocrite who does not recite the Quran, is that of a colocynth plant which has no smell and is bitter in taste."

(Sahih al-Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)

Some people differentiate not between it and the grapefruit

[specs]

sweet: mangoes, bananas and small green grapes! :)

[Qurratul Ayn]

Many members of my family like the sugar apple fruit... I don't know what it's called in my mother tongue but I find it +o(

This is interesting... I've never seen it but it looks quite tasty!!!

Now this is very, very, very nice. Again I don't know the name of it in my mother tongue, I just call it very, sweet orange. Lol

[Periwinkle18]

[ardianto]

In Indonesia we eat fruits with sauce that made from palm sugar, tamarind, peanuts, and chilli. It's called "rujak".

[Al-Mufarridun]

my favs are Dates, Mangoes, Guavas, Grapes.

There is a type of cherry that i like but don't really know if it has a specific name.

[Woodrow]

Wasn´t durian that fruit what smells like... hmmm... awful?

+o(

You are correct. It is so strong smelling it is illegal to sell in some countries. Yet, those who like it enjoy it it immensely. They say it is an acquired tase.

[Paprika]

[Ibn Abi Ahmed]

[Taabuu]

Dates are very nutritious as well as tasty. Dates are used for breaking fast during Ramzan. All of us break fast during Ramzan by eating dates. Dates are very yummy and many food items can be prepared using dates.

[muslimah bird]

Grapes

[sister herb]

I like pomegranates too but mostly in here they comes from Israel... :exhausted so I don´t buy them.

[Sir Fluffy]

The most amazing, most delicious and splendid fruit on earth.....the Kiwi!

[sister herb]

Yes kiwi is great but I am allergic to it (So called Anaphylaxis). imsad

[introspective]

Too many to choose.

Dates (especially the Ajwa cultivar), cherries, guava, Jonathan apples, berries (except for gooseberries), grapes, starfruit, pineapple.

I don't like mangoes but I like mango juice. Strange?

[sister herb]

[Muhaba]

Lately I have realized that I don't like oranges so much. I love tangarines but not oranges. Also, sometimes like apples and sometimes I don't. But cherries, mangoes, guavas, those I love.

[Aisha]

Fruit is such a huge blessing. I'm rediscovering its yummyness now that I'm able to have it again after almost three years!

Apples, bananas and mangoes are my faves right now.

[greenhill]

Mangosteen .... sadly, I cannot have too much as I will get an allergic reaction to it but it is mmmmmm.

Chikoo (ciku) or in English, Sapodilla fruit.

and watermelon juice. I like Figs too!

[Hulk]

Something I really like

avocado juice

[جوري]

I love avocado in guacamole but it seems savory to me how do you have it in juice? is it heavy? what do you add to it?
I generally like any fruit that is juicy and in season. I hate out of season fruits they are off putting.. peaches when they're ripe in the summer and berries and watermelons, pears and mangoes and guava but especially figs I am such a sucker for figs especially when paired with the right cheese and bread.. Oh God what a heavenly regal fruit..
I feel hungry and I already brushed my teeth yes pearly :D

;D I see someone's in the mood for some fruits!
Yes it is thick! I've never made it myself before, only had it at restaurants all this while. It's not a common drink where I live but when I go somewhere that serves it I would order it :statisfie. It's pretty thick I think it can be classified as dessert. Perhaps one of these day if I find an avocado I can try juicing it myself.

[Beardo]

It really depends on my mood, but I'd say watermelon and mangoes. I especially like mangoes because it's naturally sweat but you can make it spicy by adding some chilli powder on it. :)

[greenhill]

I've had that avocado juice Hulk. Thick! Nice. Don't see it very often.

[ardianto]

Chikoo (ciku) or in English, Sapodilla fruit.

It's called "sawo" in Indonesia. I like it. It's sweet, and also the tree is quite good as an ornamental tree in parks.

----

By the way, when I visited a supermarket I've ever laughed when I saw durian. Nothing funny with this "king of fruits", but I laughed because durian always remind me to LAT cartoon.

;D

[nila11]

Walaykum salam
My favorite fruit is apple. It has taste is good. I like eat apple because it has lot of benefits. It has little bit sourly and sweet. If we eat apples our blood is more fresh and our skin also fresh. So ,I like eat apple.

[crimsontide06]

Looks a giant strawberry. I bet one is enough to the whole family. ;D

Actually, what it had in size it lacked in taste. It was a bit watery.
I have a picture where I pretend to bite into it - but I didn't think that was appropriate to post here. :)

[UmmuShaheed]

Asalamu Alaykum
Mine are grapes, and mangoes. I love to eat grapes in the evening. And I like mangoes anytime:)

[ardianto]

Pakistan and Indonesia have signed a new agreement of agricultural products export/import.

In shaa Allah, it will make me easier to find my favorite Pakistani Kinnow Orange in the market.

Malaysian durians cause panic in Australia

A few packs of Malaysian top-notch Musang King and D24 durians being delivered to a lab in Sydney, Australia, have caused a stir after an agricultural team of Malaysia’s Sydney consulate examined the delivery and nearby office staff mistook the distinctive smell of the fruits for a gas leak.

In an office in downtown Sydney, the strong, pungent smell of the durians went into the ventilation system and reached adjoining offices, whose staff started panicking and set off a gas leak alert. Emergency teams arrived and evacuated the whole floor "within minutes", reports said on September 7.

The Malaysian consulate explained to the emergency staff that the smell in fact was from the durians and it was harmless, and said the officers were left "amazed and puzzled."

Even hours after everything was clarified, newly arriving office staff still became suspicious about the prevailing scent.

To avoid further misunterstandings, the consulate decided to move any operations connected to durians to the Malaysia Hall in Sydney, a students’ accommodation for Malaysian exchange students, where the durian smell "is very well received," as Malaysia’s Sydney Consulate agriculture director Muhammad Rudy Khairudin Mohd Nor put it.

"Who would have thought that exporting durians to Australia could be so challenging?" he said.

[shayanjameel08]

I really think that mangos are the best fruit because there not to sour not to sweet it's just right. Once I start to eat, I can't stop! " ah mangos"
