Get emotional over fruits

In the dreary months of winter, use produce and their bright colors and vibrant tastes to remind you that spring is around the corner. You can do, it the IFICF survey indicates that we do make emotional connections with what we eat. Why not find some positive emotional connections with food that's good for you.

Picking mulberries off a tree growing up always brings great memories of my sisters and I eating so many berries that our faces would be blue.


Living in Southern Florida, my beloved teenage church group would go strawberry picking on Saturday to sell on Sunday to raise funds for trips and other gatherings.

Eating Caribbean Red papayas to me will always bring that Caribbean cruise back front and center in my mind.

A crisp, tart apple floods my mind with autumn memories. Somehow I don't get that biting into an apple, but do when I slice a cold one.

Mangos, probably half of my lifetime ones were eaten under the tree with the warm and humind Miami breezes rifling through the leaves above.

What are your memories?
