Fresh, seasonal, Fruits are the mainstay of the meals produced from the Living Kitchen. Sweet fruits supply the simple carbohydrate fuel, broad spectrum of vitamins, pure water, and soluble fibre in the precise form and quantitative range that the human body requires.
Communitarians following the first principle and practice of communitarian union ‘eat from the living trees’, consume 80% of their daily nutritional needs from pure unadulterated Fruit. The balance comes from soft leafy greens and tender juicy vegetables, along with non-sweet fruits such as cucumber, pumpkin, zucchini and green beans which supply a range of essential minerals.
Our senses confirm that in its pure unadulterated form, fruit, sweet or sour, is our natural diet. For humans, fruits attract the eye, tantalize our sense of smell, and taste divine in their raw, natural, ripe state.
Grapes, peaches, plums, nectarines, watermelon, cantaloupe, bananas, apples, oranges, lemons and limes, mangos, papayas, figs, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cherries, avocadoes, passionfruit, guava, soursop, jackfruit and durian… the list is endless… every piece uniquely beautiful. Holding the fruit to our noses, we smell its sweet and distinctive fragrance – immediately our mouths water.
