5 Fruits for Your Everyday Grocery List by Sami Anwar

Move over, Bananas and watermelons. It’s time to taste some other fruits like passion, star etc. So, Sami Anwar recommended five fruits for your health which you should have in your daily life.

Passion Fruit

Highly fragrant, egg-shaped, and purple, red, or yellow when mature, the passion fruit is also called the purple granadilla ("little pomegranate" in Spanish). It tastes a lot like guava. Rich in potassium, and fiber, you'll get just 16 calories per fruit. Slice it in half, and scoop out and eat the seeds and pulp. Serve in fruit salads, or with chicken, pork, or fish. Strain the pulp and use it in juices, cocktails, desserts, and sauces.

Star Fruit

A waxy, golden-yellow fruit tasting of citrus, apple, and plum, star fruit hails from Southeast Asia. Sweet-tart, each fruit has 40 calories and is a great source of vitamin C. Wash, slice, and eat the entire star-shaped treat. You don't need to peel or seed it. Add it to salads or savory dishes, or use as a garnish. Don't eat it if you have kidney problems, since star fruit naturally has kidney stone-forming oxalic acid.

Acai

Acai (pronounced ah-sigh-ee) berries stem from a palm tree in the rain forest of Brazil. This tiny, dark, round fruit is about the size of a blueberry (with a large, inedible seed) and tastes like chocolate and wild berries. You can find acai in smoothies and other drinks, or dried and mixed with granola. Acai has essential fatty acids is rich in anthocyanins (responsible for its purple color).

Mango

Originally from Southeast Asia, mangoes range in color from green to yellow to red. Packed with vitamin C, mangoes are a good source of fiber and easy to enjoy. Peel away the skin, cut away the large seed, and enjoy the rich, orange flesh, bursting with a sweet, tropical taste. Available fresh, frozen, or dried, versatile mangoes can be found in dishes from sweet to savory.

Papaya

The pear-shaped papaya is native to Central America and has soft, buttery flesh with peppery, edible seeds. This sweet, musky fruit can be as big as 20 inches but is typically about 7 inches long, with 118 calories, lots of vitamin C, and a good amount of folate and potassium. Papaya contains the enzyme papain, used in meat tenderizers and useful in protein digestion. Enjoy papayas fresh or baked, with a squeeze of lemon or lime.
