Seasonal fruits should be consumed

  Fruits and green leafy vegetables are very essential in order to stay healthy and protect you from many ailments, fruits are considered as the favorite bites to have even when you stomach are full. People who are very fond of eating fruits should remember that only seasonal fruits should be consumed so that you may not suffer any disease because of eating non-seasonal fruits.

    Seasonal fruits should be consumed and in case you will eat non seasonal fruits like if there is not the season of grapes; then you should be aware that in order to do ripening of grapes a chemical known as ethephon is used as a ripener to provide you with grapes how ever it is not in that seasonal fruits.

    Similar is the case with banana, sulfur dioxide is used to make the peel of the banana bright yellow so that it looks like sweet banana which s ready to eat, but eating such banana is not so good for health.
