Daily writing prompt
List your top 5 favorite fruits.

This is DU. I’ll share my top 5 favorite fruits. Why? Because FGW’s post isn’t ready yet. But, he’ll return soon. Stay tuned

So, DU is here to grace this prompt and WP with my presence, and I will give you something extra. I will list the top 10 favorite fruits of mine (instead of 5) and I will also list their benefits.

Here we go:

#1 Favorite fruit Lychee

Number #1 has to be Lychee. Oh, I love this sweet fruit. It’s mostly available around June-July and dominates the market with its sweet taste.

It’s a bit sticky, actually a lot sticky. It’s one such fruit that you cannot carry, because 1: It’s sticky, 2: It cannot endure much heat.

Ms lychee is a good source of Vitamin C, copper, and potassium.

It aids in high cholesterol, high blood pressure, promotes liver health, and even boosts the immune system.

A few disadvantages could include: It disturbs blood sugar levels and the immune system if taken in high quantities.

#2 favorite fruit- Kiwi 🥝

Kiwi is the only fruit on my list that is not Indian. However, nowadays it’s grown in India, but that’s not on a larger scale.

I wonder why I like this strange potato looking fruit. It’s Tangy, it’s fun. However, this fruit shows luxury. Yes, that’s surprising, right? Not many people can afford it. It comes in small boxes, which have like 3-4 kiwis.

It’s not that easily available and people may not find its taste interesting. Fruits like Kiwi, dragon fruit, and avocado are not preferred by everyone because of high prices and lack of availability.

However, I like Kiwi and kept on 2nd because I enjoy this fruit a lot. It has benefits like it’s rich in vitamins B, C, E, and fibers. It supports heart health, boosts immunity, and even aids digestion.

However, overconsumption can cause potassium overload. Kiwis are high in potassium. 1-2 kiwis per day are considered safe.

Favortite fruit #3: Mango 🥭️

Mango oh sweet mango, the king of fruit, the ruler of summer. Seriously, it’s summer already and mangoes have started ruling the market. There are so many varieties. But I won’t say I like them all.

Different varieties of mangoes come from different Indian states and are available during different durations.

Can you guess which country is the largest producer of mangoes? Hint: It’s the same country that is the largest producer of Banana, guavas, papaya, sapota, amla. You are welcome world.

Different varieties taste different and I like the tangy ones. It comes around May-June.

In the comments tell me if you like mangoes and I’ll tell you my favorite variety.

Favorite fruit #4 Custard apple

At first, I was not a fan of them. I found them very weird. Like there are so many seeds and it’s hard to eat them. Then, I learned how to actually enjoy custard apple or Sita-phal, and ever since I’ve been a fan.

Same as lychee, you cannot carry custard apples everywhere. These fruits cannot endure the heat. Plus, they are messy. It’s hard to have a clean hand after eating them.

Custard apple comes with a long list of benefits. These are rich in nutrients like vitamins B6, C, and magnesium. These are good for hair health and have anti-inflammatory properties.

However, these are extremely high in sugar. So don’t go overboard just because of its sweet taste.

#5 Favorite fruit green apple 🍏

That’s right, not the red apple, which is a more famous cousin of the green apple. Some people don’t consider green apple as an apple. They consider it some variety of pear or apple that are not natural.

Green apples have a completely different taste than that of red ones. Some call them sour, and generally, people want sweet apples. That could be a reason why green apples are neglected from the market the same way I’m neglecting WordPress these days 😝

Green apples may not be popular, but they boast tons of benefits like reducing the risk of chronic diseases, improving heart health, promoting healthy skin, and supporting weight loss as greenies are low in calories and high in fiber.

Honorable mention

As mentioned at the start, DU will give something extra, I mean who is that kind these days? 😛

Here are my top 10 favorites:

-> At #6 comes the red diamond- Strawberries. Strawberry is rich in manganese, vitamin B9 (folate), and anti-oxidants. These enhance the cognitive health, skin health, etc. 🍓

Additionally, strawberries can be used to whiten the teeth.

-> Oranges comes at #7. This golden ball rules the winter. These are citric but come with tons of benefits and I am sure you know how rich they are in vitamin C.

Oranges are also a good source of water, so in winter when you don’t drink sufficient water, you can rely on oranges.

Carry them with you and these are lovely snacks. 🍊

-> At #8 is a fruit that people desire to be sweet, but eat them with rock salt. I am talking about grapes. 🍇

In grapes, I am talking about green ones. Because black tastes different. Even in green, there are various varieties. The best thing about grapes is you can’t just eat 1 and be satisfied. These come in a bunch and you can just munch.

People generally like to drink grape juice 🍾, but I am simple and prefer to eat them. Grapes come in the market in November and stay till May (talking especially about India).

-> I think it’s safe to keep the green and red globe at #9. I am talking about watermelon. 🍉

You can trust big juicy watermelons in summer for some hydration. These are mostly water, so that makes them the most hydrating fruit in summer (sorry cucumbers).

Watermelons are also a great refreshing option for ice pops, slushies, etc.

-> Last on my list is the all-season Banana. These are considered as cheap fruits in India, as these are very very very common and everyone can afford them. 🍌

Bananas are a great source of energy. If you need some quick energy, eat a banana and then you can even climb a tree. 🙊

People who are watching their weight are afraid of bananas as they are high in carbs. However, I need to research more on whether bananas are bad for people during weight loss or not. 🤔


So these were my top 10 favorite fruits.

As you may have guessed this post is written by DU and not FGW. Can you spot the difference between the 2? Because I am trying to make a noticeable difference.

I would like to hear about your top 5 favorite fruits.

Do we have any common fruit in our top 5? Tell me about it in the comments. ⬇️

Until next time, stay healthy, stay hydrated and smile. 😊

  2. Great share DU. 🙏

    I have the same fruits as those in your top five list:

    Mango
    Lychee
    Custard Apple
    Cherry
    Blueberries

    I adore oranges, bananas, guavas, grapes, and dragon fruit as well. There’s also another fruit, a Thai delicacy – Mangosteen. Known as “Mang-Kut” in Thai, it holds the title of the Queen of Fruits …

    Now about DU and FGW
    Indeed, I’m familiar with DU. I can differentiate DU from FGW. DU embodies a blend of fun-loving, humorous, and caring qualities with a hint of sarcasm—

    While FGW is a dedicated health blogger, serious in tone, lacking humor, or tolerance for certain topics—but with a noble goal of promoting health-consciousness among his readers/followers.

    Both has a great tagline:
    Never forget to smile! 😊

    Smiling 😊

    1. Never tried mang kut

      Never tried blue berries either.
      Although it can be grown here, but requires great maintenance 🤷🏻‍♂️

      Thanks for sharing ☺️

      1. Pls do try Mang Kut. It’s really delicious …

        And I tried blueberry only few times on some occasions and abroad. It’s expensive here in our country. So I don’t buy it.

      2. How to try mang kut

        It’s not available here 😂

        I’ll grow my own blueberry 🫐

      3. It’s alright. When you can, you may try it later ….

        Wow…
        Grow blueberries then…
        And once I’m able to visit, I look forward to harvesting the blueberries and other fruits from your garden.

        😊🤲

      4. Blueberries are hard to grow.

        I got a lemon tree, but it’s not showing any growth 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Same goes with mango 🤷🏻‍♂️

        Require care like a child

      5. Take better care of your trees …

        I also have a lemon tree, albeit a small one …

      6. We have two

        One small

        One big

        No yield

  3. Hello DU, We live in such different growing climates. I have never seen a Lychee, and may not until I visit India one day. My top five: 1. In winter: blood orange, 2. in summer: nectarine, 3. in fall: pear and 4. cherry, and when I can find it at the store: 5. cherimoya.

    1. India is calling you

      Never tried blood orange, heard of it.
      However that’s a freaky name for a fruit .

      I am not sure if I’ve eaten nectarine, however they are very similar to peaches.
      Or maybe I’ve never eaten peaches and it’s other way around 😂

      Pear 🍐 and cherry 🍒 are okay

      Cherimoya is very similar to custard apple, at the same time very different.

      Custard apple have more cream, pulp or whatever you may call it.

      1. I’ve never eaten custard apple either. Blood oranges are bright red inside. They are less tart than regular oranges. I like peaches too, but nectarines have more of a tangy honey taste.

  4. Love all of these too and just ate a bunch of them in Hawaii!!! Yummy 💕

    1. Ahh cool 👏🏻👏🏻

      1. 🤗🩷🍍🥝

      2. CG

        How are you doing??

        Seeing you on FGW after an eternity

      3. Awesome.. thanks for noticing.. posting in a few.. xo ❣️

      4. I see people who just drop like and avoid commenting.

  5. Loved reading about your favourite fruits. I’ve never tried custard apples. I share 1 top 5 with you – mango.

    My favourites are cherries, raspberries, mango, nectarines and red grapes

    1. Ahhh red grapes are not that common here
      Not grown here that’s why, but are sweet.

      Never tried raspberry tho.

      1. Red grapes are lovely. Most fruits aren’t grown in Scotland – too cold, but raspberries are local

      2. Ahhh
        Interesting

  6. Love these except mangoes and apples. My favourite is oranges, I love them so much. Great post 😊

    1. There are some people who like dragon fruit

      So yeah, for them not liking mango is common 😝

      I never knew you like oranges 😲
      Interesting 🤔

      I eat so many oranges in winter, that after a point I get bored.

      1. I love dragon fruit, mangoes I’m kinda maybe allergic to 🙃

        I love oranges, it’s literally the best fruit ever 😅

      2. Dragon fruit

        Let’s not say anything bad about it 😂

      3. 😅😅

    I like to eat bananas before they turn ripe but they taste better in smoothies.
    Never heard of custard apples! Asian markets have lychee…maybe I should try them this summer. We tried dragonfruit last summer, which was okay. I can’t remember the taste too well.

    1. I’m glad that you are still reading my work.

      You can find cousins of custard apple in usa.

      You should tru lychee
      Mostly available in june July

      Dragon fruit is just a hype.

      1. I thought I replied to this comment last night! Yes, I still read your work. It’s not as consistent as I would like and I apologize about that. Life has been busy with homeschooling, activities, and just living. lol. You are my favorite nutrition blogger so I will keep reading.
        As for the fruits, I agree about the hype about dragon fruit. Since I heard raving reviews about it, I had high expectations, but it wasn’t all that memorable for me. I will try lychee. A good tasting experience…it’s often sold in Asian markets here.

  15. Sorry I haven’t been actively reading your site these days!! Life had been busy homeschooling and keeping up with activities and dealing with Ellis’ bouts of sickness, not to mention Dart and his shenanigans.
    Yes, you are my favorite health and nutrition blogger, so of course I’ll keep reading.

  16. Yes, dragon fruit is hyped up and I couldn’t really see why it’s so highly rated. Lychee… will need to try.

  17. what is your major job/profession?
