Date: August 24, 2006 04:02PM Now that summer is coming to an end here, I was just curious as to which fruits/veggies all of you eat during the winter motnhs?
As I sit here eating my really yummy mango, I think about how much I am going to miss Summer!

Date: August 24, 2006 04:25PM When it's summer, I can't imagine how I could possibly live without watermelon every day for breakfast! But, somehow, it works out fine. In the fall, there are persimmons! I LOVE persimmons. Love, love, love them!
In So California where I live, tangerines and naval oranges are ripe in December so I clean out the trees in my neighborhood when I can. Also, winter is the time to play with raw recipes since I mostly eat fruit and salad in the summer. Pesto, cucumber salads, soups, raw burgers and pies. Lots of fun! :] J.

Date: August 24, 2006 04:33PM Yes, how can you skip the fall and go straight to winter?
I love the persimmons in the fall. I enjoy both the fuyu and the hachiya varieties of persimmons. In the winter I enjoy the satsuma tangerines, and last year I tried a new variety called Murcotts which I really liked. Also, in the late winter a lot of mangos are available, the ataulfos I love, and I found a new variety last winter/spring from Haiti called Madame Francique. In the heart of winter, where the isn't much fresh local fruit, I tend to rely on bananas for more of my calories. Re: Winter Fruits and Veggies

Date: August 27, 2006 04:12AM you call it winter when you can still eat persimmons and oranges in december as they come ripe...
let me tell you about winter...3 feet of snow, anywhere from end of october on to as late as mid april...kind of covers the bare dormant branches of any local fruit trees quite beautifully, sprarkling magically in the moonlit frosty air... apples come out of the root cellar, and thats it for fresh fruit...in the winter we eat dried pears, cherries, plums, apricots, and try not to eat to many bananas from the import store... veggies fresh, this year kale and other ones that will survive in a warm but unheated solar greenhouse...and whatever the import store has we eat sprouts now, never in the summer...and sauerkraut... and play in the snow....we eat that too, but only if its pure white...
