FolesHillfields Healthy Summer has influenced my daily diet in a positive way.

Since the project started, I tried to change my daily diet in a more healthy way. For example, I eat more diverse fruits since I participated in the fruit taster day. I have always been a passionate fan of fruits, and discovering new fruits and tasting them together with the volunteers and staff was a great experience.

The fruit taster day was held in Open Office on the 30/06/10. We had a variety of fruits to taste, which ranged from exotic to tropical. We also learned about their origins. For example, most of the volunteers or staff didn’t know that the Sharon fruit was originally from Israel.

Some fruits found themselves less popular than others. The blackcurrant was only liked by Heather, while the pineapple and strawberries were everyone else’s favourite. People also made funny faces when they tasted the blackcurrant. We all had fun tasting the different fruits. We also had some Dragon fruit, which looked exotic on the outside but didn’t taste as we expected.

Overall, I believe that this would have been a memorable and fruitful day for everyone.
