Fruits and Melons

Ripe fruits are high in vitamins and enzymes and contain ample amounts of phytonutrients, minerals, and amino acids. They are easily digestible and contain super-hydrating purified water. I start each day with fruit as my firstmeal. An interesting fact about fruit and perhaps all natural foods is that the taste of two identical pieces of fruit can vary greatly, even if the trees that they were picked from were the same varieties and grown side by side in the same conditions! I have experienced this phenomenon many times while blueberry picking. If you have an aversion to a variety of fruit, I encourage you to try it again. Perhaps the last time you tried it you got a bad one. The following list of fruits and their medicinal qualities is by no means complete. To list all the known fruits and the health benefits of them would take volumes. In addition, there are numerous varieties of common fruits. For example, there are more than 1,400 varieties of apples growing around the world. I have listed the fruits that are commonly available in North America and some of the medicinal qualities that I felt would pique your interest.
