Fresh fruits are one of the best sources of nutrients.

A car with a fresh coat of paint here.

Summer is here in our country and the heat is really unbearable. Below are some fruits being sold in one of the big supermarket chains: watermelon, durian and papaya.

fresh fruits

I am sure a lot of Filipinos working overseas would love to see these fruits in custom cardboard boxes their relatives send them :D

Don’t we just love watermelon shake?

Durian is a fruit from the southern part of the country. It has a pungent smell that is not for the uninitiated. I love the smell when it is made into candy bars though.

Papaya on the other hand is one versatile fruit that can be eaten raw or ripe, cooked or not.

Happy Saturday! :)

I don’t think I would touch the durians on such a humid weather. I’m just afraid of the long queue at the clinic.. hehe :P

Durians grow in the Philippines too? Makes logical sense but I tend to associate them with Malaysia particularly. :)

Lovely shot! We can buy durian in asian shops here, but I havenĀ“t tried to test it…

Papaya is one of my favourite fruits but what they bring in here is not as good as what i remember growing up. So fresh but after travelling so far. Well.

Have a great weekend Julie.

So yummy! I love fresh fruit, but here in Canada we only have a few months per year when we can get it. Happy photo hunting and thank you for visiting mine :)
