As a child, I never enjoyed eating fruits. I didn't dislike them or anything, I just didn't feel very strongly about them. As an adult, I eat fruits out of necessity, to strengthen my immune system and for better skin. When I started baking and reading food blogs regularly, I discovered how wonderful fruits really were, how they can be incorporated into recipes and how they intensify flavours.
It was a whole new world for me. Grocery shopping is now incomplete without stopping by the produce section. Like a kid in a candy store, I would race to the fruits section and start picking up the fruits and smelling them. Oranges smell sweet and fruity, lemons have a strong citrusy scent and apples smell so fresh and clean, like the air after a bout of heavy rain.
