Spring is when a lot of the best fruits are in season. There’s always something for everyone and they don’t only come tasty; they also come with nutrients that are invaluable to the body. So, as the cold of winter fades, it is time to enjoy the best spring has to offer. In this article, you will find the top five spring fruits for your next gift basket.
Before we start, you should understand that eating fruits that are in season isn’t just about enjoying the freshest flavours; it’s also about supporting local farmers and reducing your carbon footprint. When you choose fruits that are in season, you’re getting produce that’s been grown and harvested at its peak, meaning it’s both tastier and more nutritious. Plus, buying locally grown fruits helps to support your community and protect the environment. It’s a win-win for everyone!
The classic favourite that is always in season – the apple. Whether your recipient likes them sweet or tart, there is always an apple variety that suits everyone. Not to mention the numerous benefits that they offer.
Apples are absolute nutritional powerhouses. Starting from the best, they are rich in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fibre. They are also loaded with antioxidants, which are substances the human body needs to get rid of harmful radicals and strengthen the immune system. Finally, they are low in calories and fat, making them the perfect snack for people watching their waistlines.
When it comes to versatility, apples absolutely shine as they fit in perfectly in a ridiculously wide range of dishes. The most common ones are adding them to salads, baking them into a delicious apple pie, pairing them with cheese as an afternoon snack or dipping them in peanut butter to reach ecstasy.
When you are selecting the apples for your fruit basket, make sure they don’t have any visible bruises or blemishes. Store them in a refrigerator to keep them crisp and fresh if you want to get them ready a few days before sending out your fruit basket gift.
A fruit that is as good to look at as it is to eat, the power of the kiwifruit should not be underestimated!
It might look small but it definitely packs a mighty punch. It is loaded with helpful vitamins and minerals especially vitamin C which can help your recipient build a strong immune system and keep glowing skin. It is also rich in fibre.
It is surely delicious on its own but it can taste even better. Let your recipient try adding it to their morning yoghurt or oatmeal, blend it into a smoothie, or make salsa or chutney to serve with grilled fish/chicken. Being scared to get more creative in the kitchen is not really an option.
To choose the best kiwis, look for ones that are firm but yield slightly to pressure. Avoid soft ones – chances are they are overripe. For storage, refrigerate the ripe ones and keep the unripe ones at room temperature until they turn ripe. Also, did you know that keeping an unripe kiwi in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple can speed up the ripening process?
The sweet in front of their name is there for a reason. But these little red gems are not just delicious to your taste buds, your body will thank you for it!
They contain antioxidants, vitamins A and C as well as fiber. As discussed earlier, these nutrients help keep a strong immunity and enhance digestive processes.
The fact that you have so many options with this fruit is simply amazing. You can eat it as a snack, or add it to desserts, salads and savoury dishes. You can even pair it with creamy cheese for an appetizer. The list goes on.
Look for cherries that are plump, firm and shiny with a deep red colour. Anything that can be described as soft or bruised should be off your shopping cart. Store in a refrigerator after packaging them in breathable containers or paper to preserve full freshness.
The grapefruit might not be the most popular fruit but it’s also incredibly good for you. Grapefruit is packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fibre. It’s also low in calories which is a really thoughtful in baskets meant for certain people.
Enjoy the tasty grapefruit fresh in salads or smoothies for a refreshing burst of citrus, or use it to make homemade grapefruit salsa to serve with fish or tacos. Grapefruit also pairs well with other fruits like berries and melons, as well as with herbs like mint and basil. And don’t forget about grapefruit juice – it makes a delicious addition to cocktails, marinades, and salad dressings.
Selecting the wrong fruits sucks but you can avoid it. When selecting grapefruit, choose fruits that are heavy for their size and free from blemishes or soft spots. Storing grapefruit is a little different but simply keep it at room temperature for up to a week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage and you’ll be good.
Last but certainly not least, let’s talk about mangos.
It can be actually described as a tropical fruit that is as delicious as it is nutritious. Mangos are packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin A, and folate. They’re also rich in antioxidants like beta-carotene and polyphenols, and you guessed it, they are a good source of fibre.
What are your options? Eat them fresh on their own or use them to add a tropical twist to salads, salsas, and smoothies. Mangos also pair well with other tropical fruits like pineapple and coconut, as well as with savoury ingredients like chilli peppers and cilantro. Want to try something new? Try adding diced mangos to your favourite stir-fry or curry recipe for a new experience.
Mangos are actually easier to select. Look for fruits that are firm yet slightly soft to the touch, with a sweet fragrance at the stem end. Avoid mangos that are overly soft or have wrinkled skin, as they may be overripe. To ripen mangos at home, leave them at room temperature for a few days until they yield to gentle pressure.
