Tropical Fruits on the 1st of July 2010: Watermelon, Papaya, Avocados, Santol, Guava, Indian Mangoes
Posted On July 2, 2010
Yesterday was the 1st of July 2010 and these are the fruits in season now in Manila, Philippines. We bought these at the Marikina wet market.
The bottle in the middle is bagoong / alamang – small shrimp paste that goes well with the indian green mangoes.
What these fruits are good for?
Watermelon is for hydration and bowel movement.
Papayas are the 2nd highest source of vitamin C, digestive enzymes and good for bowel movement.
Avocados provide plant fats.
Santol has a certain taste to it but doesn’t make you full. I don’t know what it’s good for yet.
Guava is the highest source of vitamin C.
Indian mango is the 3rd highest source of vitamin C.
None of these are sugar bombs.
