I must admit the best "dessert" of all is fruit. Unlike processed cookies and cakes, fruit is au naturale and a delicious healthy snack that provides essential vitamins and minerals. I've been on a fruit kick since I've noticed it gives me an energy boost without the sugar crash that I get from junk food.
Though I haven't been to a farmers market yet this spring, I've been going to King's Supermarket where they have amazingly fresh fruit. I swear it's as if they have a magical fruit ninja on hand with only the best fruit.
Unlike other grocery stores, King's has proved itself to be reliable in always having freshly sliced fruit in prepared containers. For students like myself cramming in long hours of work these last few weeks of school, King's packaged fruit is the perfect snack.
Pineapples, strawberries, and mangoes, are all in season right now. If you have the time and energy to pick out your own fruit here's a couple of tips to tell when its ripe:
1. Pineapple should have a bright yellowgold color on the skin and visible on the eyes around the base and a sweet smell at its base.
2. Buy strawberries that are bright red, as a dark red color is a sign that they're overripe and a green color indicates they are under-ripe.
3. A mango is ripe when it has a fruity aroma and you can slightly indent it with your thumb.
King's Supermarket is located on 870 Avenue in Garden City.
