Why Exotic Fruit?
Understanding Exotic Fruit
Tropical vs Temperate Fruit
Incase you haven't noticed, fruits grown further from the equator are less sweet than tropical fruit and a lot of this is due to the lack in sunshine. It is the Sunshine that is used to produce carbohydrates, more commonly known as its Sugar. These Carbohydrates could be views as condensed light energy therefore meaning that the more sunlight there is, the easier it is for the fruit to produce sweet fruit - loaded with minerals, vitamins and healthy sugars. Temperate fruits - which grow further from the equator such as pears, apples and cherries are usually less nutritious and calorie dense than their tropical counterparts. We can experiment this ourselves by just using our senses of Touch, Taste, Satiety and Visual cues. Tropical fruits are usually, sweeter, denser in calories, creamier, less acidic and very appealing to our sense of smell and sight in the form of the brighter diverse color patterns.
