Description

Have you ever felt frustrated by the quality of fruit you bring home from the market? Ever been unimpressed by bland, crunchy melons, or mangoes that don't ripen? Has pineapple ever tasted too acidic? This book will help you solve those problems for life.

Packed with full color photos and detailed descriptions of each fruit, The Fruit Companion will empower you to make the best decisions when selecting nature's most sweet and nourishing foods. Learn useful information about the qualities of over 100 of the most common fruits found in grocery stores and farmer's markets across the temperate and subtropical zones.

With this book, you will learn about the seven main types of edible fruit. You will learn when each variety of fruit is in season, its water content, its most common varieties, whether it ripens after harvest, and most importantly, how to tell when a fruit is perfectly ripe. You will even learn how your body digests the fruit, based on its ratios of sugar, acid, fat, starch, and water contents.

​Additional sections include discussions of important questions like choosing organically-grown vs conventionally-grown fruits, sourcing food, growing your own, and nutrition for humans. There are also detailed warnings about toxins for the fruits that may contain them. Use The Fruit Companion for quick reference when shopping; handy tables are printed in the back listing fruits by water content, ripening style, and digestion type. 

The Fruit Companion opens the door to a new relationship with food by making fruit selection simple and intuitive. Become your own fruit expert with The Fruit Companion and enjoy the diverse abundance of fresh fruit from Açaí to Zucchini.
