I know fruit contain still a bunch of sugar, but a bunch of fibers and a treasure of nutriments
If only more kids were raised with more fruit and vegetable in mind than processed products.
What's a better treat than an apple, an orange, a persimmon, fig, kiwi (tip: don't hesitate to eat them with the skin, above all if they are organic), and spinach, salad and all sort of herbs, or even a raw scallion or leek for the adventurous?
- diehunde 6y agoIt's a habit you need to keep your whole life. I grew up eating mostly fruit for dessert every day until I was 17. Once I left my parent's home I lost that habit very quickly. Now I'm 33 and still have to push myself to eat fruit instead of junk sweet food.
- rb808 6y agoModern fruit is so very sweet. I'd love to see a proper study of sugars and GI index in a 2020 Honeycrisp vs what the official stats say is in an apple. I really suspect it isn't much different from a candy bar.
- 11235813213455 6y agosurely yes, but the fiber along-side the fruit is very very important, for its nutritional value, and how it helps to slowly release the sugar in your intestine, like a sponge
- fatnoah 6y agoAbsolutely. That's why folks say fruit juice is not great, because you get the sugar with little of the beneficial stuff. 0
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoSo everyone should drink their Pepsi with some Metamucil?
- toasterlovin 6y agoNo. The theory is that, in order to get to the sugars, the body has to first break down the fiber in the fruit. This "flattens the curve" of sugar that is available to the body. That doesn't happen when you mix already separated sugar with fiber. But, it should be noted: this is merely a theory. In truth, not much is actually known about the finer details of human nutrition.
- sixseven 6y agoI actually think hey are too sour most of the time. That's one of the reasons I don't like eating fruits much.
- uoaei 6y agoAny GI index which is not determined on an individual level is likely to be useless. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2015.11.001 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cell.2015.11.001 http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2014.16658 http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.2014.16658
- lurquer 6y ago>What's a better treat than an apple, an orange, a persimmon, fig, kiwi...? If 'better' refers to taste, the answer is simple: an Oreo.
- 11235813213455 6y agoFor someone who has not eaten any chocolate bar or biscuits since 10 years, I'm not sure to like their taste anymore like I used to (unfortunately)
- colordrops 6y agoTaste is in the tongue of the beholder.
- jacobush 6y agoFor someone who really likes sweet chocolate etc, an Oreo is too vulgar even too me. I feel sick to my stomach. Powdery sugar with something brown in it.
- octokatt 6y agoI still miss Hydrox cookies.
- nemosaltat 6y agoYou can (could?) order them online. I ordered some last year and found them to be “crisper” than Oreos. In a side-by-side taste test, my family agreed that fresh Oreos seemed stale by comparison.
- SketchySeaBeast 6y agoAre there different Oeros? What you described doesn't seem to fit the description of a the North American Oreo. It's artificial sweetened shortening wedged between two chocolaty "wafers". No powdery sugar involved.

- kinkrtyavimoodh 6y agoPersonally, a sweetish orange. Apples are more texture than flavor, and figs have too many tiny seeds. Kiwis are too tart. And the veggies are fine but an orange is way better.
- foobiekr 6y agoOh my. The mouth texture of figs, including the crunch of the seeds, is probably the single best thing about them.
- api 6y agohttps://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/blogs/are-there-really-wasps-your-figs https://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/animals/blogs/are-there-re... Not saying that's bad. It's just funny.
- dempseye 6y agoWait until he hears about dates.

- munificent 6y agoI had never seen a fresh fig until my thirties when I moved to the West Coast. The insides are so alien looking that it creeps me out (and let's all agree not to think about fig wasps). But, my God, what a divine fruit. They are truly heavenly. One of the rare foods that is near perfection all on its own.
- bcrosby95 6y agoWe were doing this, but the lockdowns pretty much blew a hole in it. It's difficult to maintain eating this kind of food without going to the store every 2-3 days or accidentally end up throwing out massive amounts of food every once in a while.
