Medicinal Cooking Collective - Fruit it up Baby!

Oh fruits! Are they the only food that nature intended us to eat? Some people think so, but either way our beautiful fruits have some of most incredible colours and tastes that nature has to offer. Many people lack fresh fruits in their diet, and substitute them for frozen, concentrated, or otherwise adulterated fruits. There are many nutritional benefits in fruits, and especially antioxidants.. but only when they are fresh! So this week the medicinal cooing collective is here to seek and discover new ways to enjoy fruits without desecrating them!

Fruits have many health benefits that help prevent health complications like heat stroke, high blood pressure, cancer, heart disorders, and diabetes. They effectively fight skin disorders and promote healthy hair growth. It is always suggested to eat raw, fresh, and ripe fruits to experience the health benefits.

The Challenge!

This week the challenge is simple and i think fun! I want you to come up with a dish or drink that features fruit as the primary element. You are free to do anything you want so long as you keep the nutritional value during the construction of your dish. Sometimes presentation is enough, and a glorious fruit salad all laid out is sure to inspire.. But this is the Gourmet medicinal cooking collective so I also hope to see some healthy and beautiful garnishes, dressings, sauces, and who knows what else! Not all the fruit has to be raw, and you can make cooked fruit sauces for example as long as there is some fresh fruit to be seen!
