Fruit
If you don't like fruit at all, leave. Let's take a look at the ways fruit is commonly purchased: Frozen and Fresh. Don't get me started on canned.

Fruit, is it Really Fresh?!
Going to your local grocery outlet, you may think you are purchasing the most healthy fruit option in the produce section. It is likely that fruit was picked well before being ripe and sat in a warehouse before shipment.
Nutrients are still retained, and this fruit is still healthy; rinse that pesticide off before you down your strawberries.  Consideration: if you get your fruits at a farmers market, you probably are getting some optimally fresh fruit.






Frozen, You Had Me at Hello
Frozen fruit can be equivalent in nutritional value to fresh. Make sure it has no added preservatives or any syrups on the label, just fruit.

Why get Frozen? Easy, it's economical, convenient, longer shelf life, nutritious, portions can be stored, and most importantly: they were picked at the peak of FRESHNESS, no sitting around in that dusty warehouse.

Foremost
Try purchasing some Fruits in the frozen section, if your are aiming to eat healthy, this is an easy way to go; need I say less expensive.  If you don't enjoy them in there cold state, try thawing or microwaving for a few seconds (won't destroy the nutritional value).



On that note, I leave you with this:
