The form also does not resemble the sapodilla, although Abiu tree has characteristics similar to the sapodilla family, which is woody and can reach 15cm in height. The fruit shape is an oval to rounded, with a length of 6-12 cm and weight 150-500 g/fruit. Because widely cultivated in Australia, plants that are included in PouteriaCaimito species and Sapotaceae family are better known as the sapodilla Australia. In fact, the original home is the area around the Amazon lowlands of Peru, and Brazil.

Abiu Fruit adaptive in tropical and subtropical climates it thrives ranging from lowland to upland. The main merits than other Sapotaceae family members are quick to bear fruit. At the age of 2 years, the origin of seed plants start flowering. Two months later, the flowers become fruit is green and gradually becomes bright yellow when fully ripe / mature.

Abiu fruit flesh is white translucent with characteristic flavor sweet sticky and fresh. Someone described it as a young coconut flavor, but there are also those who identify with a blend of milk and caramel.

Fruits Advantages

Fruits Advantages

The Fruits is very useful for our health. If we have observed, is so large and very helpful to accelerate our body's metabolism. Because of the vitamins and nutrients contained in the fruit that makes the fruit is very good for our body's health. If you eat it regularly and not excessive, we will obtain good results.

An idiom growing in our society it is clear that a healthy diet that is four of five perfectly healthy. In our society it is already known. But sometimes the concept of four perfectly healthy five were sometimes not quite right is still understandable by most people. Four of five perfectly healthy understood that these components must be provided at the same time in every activity of eating.

The four of five perfectly healthy applications were actually taking elements gradually. Our bodies have the capacity and rhythm to respond food intake. The most important thing is not entering four of five perfectly healthy, but how digestion. A good meal is eat a mainstreaming the rhythms of the body's digestion. So, the development would happen inside us would be running smoothly as well.

 

The fruit is one of the essential elements in the diet that are useful to support our health. Consuming the fruits as a dietary supplement was has to fulfill four of five perfectly healthy. This is because the fruits have the nutrients and nutrients needed by the body.

In the fruitcontains some elements that are necessary for the health of our bodies, the main content of fruits consists of water, vitamins, minerals, fiber, antioxidants and carbohydrates. The benefits of each of these elements for our body include: Water, the body needs balance of the amount of water available so that the numbers need to be maintained. We should consume 2 liters of water in a day, this water needs can be met, among others, by consuming fruits.

Clean The Fruit and Vegetables

Clean The Fruit and Vegetables..??

According to some nutrition experts, they do not recommend liquid soap or detergent to wash fruits and vegetables. All fruits and vegetables should be washed with running water, although it is grown conventionally or organically.





On a few studies that conducted by several universities and fruit shops. Finally, this study shows that the water has distilled the most effective way to eliminate pesticides and microbes. Because distilled water would eliminate contaminants. The researchers also believe that the very clean cold tap water can be used instead.

Wash fruits and vegetables, even if you peel it. for example, Slicing a melon that is not washed to remove bacteria from the outside of the melon to a fruit that has been cut. Thick-skinned fruits or vegetables that grow underground, potatoes and carrots require extra washing to remove excess dirt. The study also showed that soaking fruits and vegetables with plenty of loopholes takes one to two minutes in water to be clean, cold water before eating.



Experts strongly recommend for drying fruits and vegetables clean, using a towel and wipes are another step. Also wash kitchen utensils with hot water, after cutting and peeling fruit. and is not recommended to use bleach in the wash fruit.

Fruits Classification

Fruits Classification

Although most of are found of fruits and vegetables and also welove to eat them, it would be difficult to give a definition for a fruit. In botanist term the definition is easier; “a fruit is a reproductive structure of an angiosperm which develops from the ovary and accessory tissue, which surrounds and protects the seed”. Fruits are important in the seed dispersal. It does not matter what we may call our nutritious dietary components, in botany what constitutes a fruit is quite straightforward, and this lab looks at the structure and classification of fruit.

Botanists have defined fruits as ripened ovaries along with their contents and adhering accessory structures. Fruits are produced from flowers on the plants and trees. Flowers are pollinated and these fertilized flowers turn into fruits. The ovule turns to seeds, the petals fall off and the ovary surrounding the ovule starts swelling. There are many different types of fruits. These different types of fruits are categorized into four groups basically, namely, simple fruits, aggregate fruits, multiple fruits and accessory fruits.

 

The process of fertilization could carries both seed and fruit development. While the seeds develop from ovules, the ovary tissue undergoes a number of series complex changes which result in the development of the good and fresh fruit. Many fruits are "fleshy" and also contain sugars which attract animals that then disperse the enclosed seeds to the new locations. Other, non-fleshy, fruits use other mechanisms for seed dispersal.

Fruit, what is it ?

Fruit is a structure of a plant that contains its seeds. The term has different meanings depending from the context. In non-technical usage, such as food preparation, fruit normally means the fleshy seed-associated structures of certain plants that are sweet and edible in the raw state, such as apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, juniper berries and bananas. Seed-associated structures that do not fit these informal criteria are usually called by other names, such as vegetables, pods, nut, ears and cones.

In botanical terms, a fruit is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries. Taken strictly, this definition excludes many structures that are fruits in the common sense of the term, such as those produced by non-flowering plants (like juniper berries, which are the seed-containing female cones of conifers.

On the other hand, the botanical sense includes many structures that are not commonly called fruits, such as bean pods, corn kernels, wheat grains, tomatoes, the section of a fungus that produces spores, and many more. However, there are several variants of the biological definition of fruit that emphasize different aspects of the enormous variety that is found among plant fruits.

Fruits (in either sense of the word) are the means by which many plants disseminate seeds. Most plants bearing edible fruits, in particular, coevolved with animals in a symbiotic relationship as a means for seed dispersal and nutrition, respectively; in fact, many animals (including humans to some extent) have become dependent on fruits as a source of food. Fruits account for a substantial fraction of world's agricultural output, and some (such as the apple and the pomegranate) have acquired extensive cultural and symbolic meanings.
