Best fruit? 10:35 - Oct 8 with 2246 views

For me, it has to be the lemon. It's just so versatile. I have hot water and lemon every morning (which has loads of health benefits), I use lemon juice and zest in loads of cooking recipes these days, it's a fantastic source of vitamin C which helps ward off colds, one of the most refreshing drinks is lemonade... even my shower gel has lemons in it!

The only down side is it isn't really something you can eat on its own.

Can anyone better the lemon in the fruit world?

"The only down side is it isn't really something you can eat on its own."

As downsides go, it is a pretty damn big one, and not really supporting your claim to versatility!

Oranges. Most of the benefits you mention, plus you can eat it.

Or the tried and trusted apple. Sod versatility, its just a really tasty bit of fruit.

Banana.
The peel is a great fertiliser.

Lime for juice and cooking.

I certainly don't use orange much in cooking (or in the shower). I love the taste of an orange but the pith - urgh. And they're often a right old mess to open.

I take your point about not being able to eat a lemon on its own, but I don't find that much of an issue when it goes so well with so many things.

The apple is a tasty shout, but when you're looking for the BEST fruit, rather than just tastiest, the apple falls down somewhat.

As boring as it is, it's very hard to beat an Apple. I'm not really a berry kind of guy, so that tends to rule out quite a lot. I love Mango, but still come back to the humble Royal Gala.

If we're being technical and including Avocado & Olives etc they would certainly be up there, but they're a different category IMO.

A nice crisp apple or a juicy pear are the best fruits.

Citrus fruits are in the relegation zone, nasty things.

Duck a l'orange
Orangeade
And you can get orange showergel

Also, the only way to eat oranges is the way I always did at half time in Sunday morning football. Anyone who has played Sunday football knows what I mean.

I rest my case.

Grapes. Never a disappointing flavour and full of sweet juice.

Peaches/Nectarines - especially white flesh ones. Delicious.

Tomatoes - versatile, different and probably my most-enjoyed fruit, what with ketchup, sauces, sliced on cheese on toast with a drop of Worcester sauce, with eggs, sun-dried, fried with bacon and courgettes......

Quartered? My favourite way of eating them as well. I don't like the flesh in an orange, too pithy.

It has to be grapes.
Squashed so that the juice runs out, and then allowed to ferment for months.
Best enjoyed from bottles.

I used to love eating apples in the morning from a garden tree in Suffolk...

Its a useful cooking ingredient, but thats it.

Not a proper fruit as such as you can't eat it, but I agree it smells nice so must make a lovely shower gel.

Mint is a better option for me though, more versatile although I am aware thats not really a fruit at all.

Apple wins in the "proper fruit" category.

Ha, well sucking on half works. I still can't eat the pith. Horrible stringy stuff.

Almost every veggie meal I cook has lemon juice and/or zest in it. I've only used an orange once.

Yeah grapes are nice. And something you've forgotten that strengthens their case - they make wine!

Never been a fans of peaches or nectarines.

I like tomatoes but they don't like me, if you know what I mean!

Mint... what next? Rhubarb?

You can't throw in any old herb or veg in there.

It's not something you can eat on it's own but it's a superb ingredient for absolutely loads of things.

Lemon's not just useful in cooking. As I've said, loads of health benefits.

Apple is pretty high in the taste category but it's not really an all-rounder. You can use it in cooking but mostly in desert.

That reminds me - lemon sorbet!

Durian

Didn't really understand peoples aversion to Durian. It's a bit smelly but not that bad and it's certainly not gag-inducing.

It's just not very nice either and it's insanely expensive.
