December fruits in season: avocados, melons, chicos, indian mangoes
Ah December, the Christmas season and a whole new set of fruits to look forward to. The following price quotes are from Farmers Market in Cubao, Quezon City. Chicos are pretty much affordable now selling at 60 pesos per kilo. Indian mangoes at 50 pesos per kilo. Avocados are still expensive at more than 100 pesos per kilo. Melons have gone down to 60 pesos per kilo.
Avocados are a good source for high amounts of raw fat. Indian mangoes are a good source of vitamin C. Chicos make my stools hard, but it seems too sweet, can’t have more than 2 at a time. Melons are very good hydrating fruit.
Some wise raw paleo member once said that maybe water is the best nutrient you can find in fruit.
For less than 1 month just in November we were having ponkan from Nueva Ecija but it just suddenly all vanished. It all suddenly vanished replaced by a Taiwan ponkan variety. It’s more expensive, but tastes the same. I don’t know if the Taiwanese put chemicals on their ponkan. Anyone who knows?
