It may be a classic but it's never boring. Such an exciting and intense fruit. Lemons really wake things up with their acidic juice, making an incredible addition to drinks and salad dressings and drizzled on top of finished dishes. The zest and oils are amazing and versatile too in heaps of sweet and savory recipes. The fleshy cells of the interior are soft and delectable. Limitless options and uses. The lemon.

It's a most glorious veggie (technically a berry). I've found that most people either love it or hate it...but if you're a hater it is probably due to poor execution. TRY IT AGAIN. Eggplant is so versatile and there are so many varieties, you need to expand your repertoire. Eggplant rocks. It's a most glorious veggie (technically a berry).

To make apple farming productive, conventional farmers have to rely on a whole lot of pesticide and fungicide to keep bugs at bay. Apples are always on the Environmental Working Group's list of fruits and veggies you MUST EAT ORGANIC. I won't even touch a conventional apple anymore.

A waste of packaging, a waste of calories with zero nutrients, and a waste of the energy that goes into making them. But the thing is you can make similar treats, but better for you, at home. You can make fruit roll-ups that are actually fruit, real fruit in whatever seasonal variety that your heart desires. I was never allowed to have things like fruit roll-ups in my lunch.
