Summer is here and it's time to savour these yummy fruits. Let's take a look.
A summer without mango is almost unthinkable. Often touted as the King of Fruits, mango is a delicious seasonal fruit. But it is loaded with sugar and calories, so if you have diabetes or are watching your weight, check with your doctor/nutritionist.
This is another summertime favourite. It's good for the heart, boosts the immune system, and due to its high water content - 90 per cent - it's the ideal fruit to have when mercury is soaring.
Rich in Vitamin C and high manganese content, pineapples help fight cell damage and boost your immune system. They are juicy, delicious, and perfect for summer. You can have it raw, in salads, as popsicles (by freezing pineapple juice), or even pair up with cheese.
This is the national fruit of Bangladesh and has a subtle, sweet, and fruity flavor. It's a large fruit that has many health benefits. The raw fruit is eaten as a vegetable. It is especially popular in South India.
Peach or Aadu is loaded with essential nutrients and can preserve skin health, reduce allergy symptoms, aid in digestion, among other things. This is a perfect summertime fruit.
High in water content, cantaloupe is a very good fruit for summer as it can keep you hydrated throughout the day. It can prevent constipation, by promoting regularity and helps keep the digestive tract healthy.
This lesser-known summer fruit, white jamun or wax jambu or wax apple, is another summer's delight. A variant of the black plum or black jamun, this fruit is great for diabetics too. Enjoy the tasty fruit on a hot summer day.
