If you are anything like me, you try to get more fruit into your diet (because you know its good for you), but you either can’t seem to commit – or the good fruit that you like, seems to be seasonal. I fall into both categories, by the way. I always have good intentions, and buy fruit at the produce market. But when I get it home I tend to lose interest. Or I can never find what I am looking for, because its out of season. For example, I will only eat apples during September and October. Don’t ask me why that is. It’s just because. The rest of the year, I don’t like the way they taste. However, I love to eat grapes, all year long. But – in certain months of the year they are more expensive than others, so I tend to stay away.

Yesterday, when I was at the supermarket, I saw a really cool cross breed of fruit. It’s called the grapple. It looks and has the texture of an apple, but it smells and tastes like a grape. Seriously, it actually tastes like a grape. I have now found a way, to get more apples into my diet, without having to spend $10 for a bunch of grapes.

As everyone knows, fruit and vegetables are an essential part of one’s diet. They are even more important when living with a chronic illness, especially one that can compromise your immune system. Thanks to great developments in science and agriculture, the tastiness of certain foods are changeable. Just like people who are lactose intolerant can drink milk, and high strung people can drink decaf coffee – people who don’t like apples can eat the very ingenious fruit called the grapple. Since I have decided to incorporate these into my diet, my doctor can stay away (for longer periods of time).

Oh it must be said, the grapple was invented, as a way to stave off childhood obesity, but I think its a really great idea for adults, who just don’t like certain types of fruit.

If they could just find a way to change the smell and taste of liver – then I would be one happy camper. Perhaps they could find a way to make liver taste like chocolate chip cookies.
