A delicious fruit dessert

This is an easy and quick dessert which my grandmother used to make with bananas, but you can make it with apples or figs or pineapples or straw berries or any other firm fresh fruit. You will need a large cup of chopped fruit, one fourth cup of desiccated fresh coconut, and one fourth cup of sugar. You can substitute sugar with honey or molasses. Now combine all this in a heavy bottomed pan on medium flame. Stir occasionally. The sugar will start melting and combined with the cooked fruit, will start giving a heavenly aroma…stir for five minutes on low flame and when the sugar starts caramelizing, remove from heat and mix in a table spoon of clarified butter. Stir well. The delicious fruit dessert is ready to eat. You can eat it as it is, have it with ice cream, or use it as stuffing to make a delicious pan cake…. The possibilities are end less.

Fruits as health food

Healthier eating options

Eventually, all this leads to breakdowns and burnouts. It is time to wake up to healthier eating options while at work…. And what can be healthier, tastier and more convenient than fruits? Eating fruits regularly contributes to your well being. Consuming a variety of fruits daily is one of the easiest lifestyle changes you can make. It improves your health, helps you to lose weight and gain fitness.

Straw berries look, smell and taste great. They are seasonal fruit and are available only in summer. You can have them in shakes and smoothies and desserts, or you can just eat them whole. Whichever way, strawberries are tasty. Large amounts of vitamin C, iron, phyto nutrients and pectin which is a soluble fiber that helps in lowering cholesterol, makes strawberries a healthy fruit.
