Choosing the right bowl for your fruit can help slow down that process and keep your fruit fresher for longer.
Any bowl can be a vessel for fresh
fruit, but for the best fruit bowls look for styles that permit better air
circulation all around to help maintain freshness. Choosing a ceramic or,
preferably, a wire mesh bowl is better.
The most common type of bowl seen
in the people's kitchen is glass bowls. They are easy to use and are great
for all purposes. Further, glass bowls can be used in both dishwashers and
microwaves without any worry. They come in various designs that are
eye-catching and would look beautiful on the dining table.
Glass fruit bowls are perfect for
showing off your fruit's natural beauty, but they can be fragile.
If you are looking for a more
durable option, ceramic or wooden fruit bowls are a good choice.
Finally, think about the style of your kitchen and your fruit bowl.
A fruit bowl doesn't necessarily
have to be a “bowl.” Vintage trays and platters are a great
alternative. Lay your fruits in a beautiful silver tray or rustic wooden
platter for a functional and stylish old-world charm.
Wooden fruit bowls have holes in
them to allow air circulation around your fruits and vegetables, and the
aeration will help keep your produce fresh longer. Also, if you keep your fruit
on the counter, then you will want to display a fruit bowl that is aesthetically
pleasing and practical.
Store your fruits and vegetables in the refrigerator or in sealed containers to prevent fruit flies from getting to them. You can also use mesh or cheesecloth covers to keep flies out of the fruit bowl, if you don't want to store them all in your refrigerator.
If you're working with a plastic
or metal bowl, this is a no-no. These materials cause your fruit to sweat more
frequently, leading to bacteria and mold growth.
A well-stocked fruit
bowl offers a variety of vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber essential
for the growth and development of young children.
Unless you are following a
ketogenic diet or have some sort of intolerance, there really is no reason
to limit the amount of fruit you eat. While most studies suggest that the
optimal amount is two to five servings of fruit per day, there seems to be no
harm in eating more.
Very healthy! First thing in the
morning is the best time of day to enjoy fruits. While fruits do contain sugar,
the important thing to note is that fruit contains naturally occuring sugar
that our bodies are able to digest easily. You can easily incorporate fruits
into your breakfast.
Apples and pears: These fruits
contain high levels of water, which can help to ease digestion and prevent
constipation.
Grapes: These fruits have a high skin-to-flesh
ratio and are fiber-rich. They also contain a lot of water, which helps to add
moisture to hard stools.
The benefits of consuming fruits are simply
enormous. So try placing a
fruit bowl on your kitchen counter or in your office to cue you to eat fruit
and encourage frequent consumption. It's a simple
trick that can go a long way. Set a good example! If those around you are
choosing to snack on fruit, you're more likely to join in.
