Coming from Minnesota where the land is frozen most of the year and the growing season short, having fresh fruit and vegetables is a treat that comes only for a few months each year. Here in Tanzania, fresh fruit and veggies are always in stock. Depending on the season you can get fresh plums, watermelon, pineapple, oranges, avocadoes, grapes, passion fruit and more. In addition to the seasonal fruits, other things like cucumbers, tomatoes, greens and bananas can always be bought fresh at the market. These foods aren’t just fresh, they are delicious too. Luckily, we are returning to the States in time for the first early-season harvests. However, going back to fruit shipped thousands of miles next fall will be a hard switch.
