What’s your favorite fruit????
Mine is a single-seeded berry known as the Avocado.

I spent good part of yesterday clearing a place on the hill behind my house for an avocado tree. I and to remove two dead trees and a few shrubs.

10. No, it isn't
Tomatoes are actually fruits, not vegetables.

13. Pomegranates, unfortunately they have a short
season, so if I don't get them fast I have to wait awhole year before getting a taste. I haven't had one for about 3 years cause I forget to look and miss getting them. :cry: Next favorite is apples, easy to come by at least :-) also like oranges and grapefruits. I can't stand peaches, apricots or tangerines. :puke:

19. The Black Sapote
It tastes like chocolate.

Amazingly.

Truly.

And it's fruit. Low in fats, high in fiber.

30. Tough choice
I have to say strawberries and blackberries, but I love most fruits, including tomatoes. I am deathly allergic to cantaloupe though.

39. I love all fruit
But my favorite are cherries! I think mainly because their season is so darn short. I've never met a fruit I didn't like, though.

44. Oranges, mangos, plums, avocado
Sometimes I go through phases when I can't stop eating apples and bananas but those four above are my favorites.

Avocados are awesome with rice and beans and pork. Put some salt on them and smash it up with the rice. Delicious.
