Frutas De Colombia

Heather’s class does not eat lunch until 1:00pm. Therefore, the kids eat a snack around 9:30 everyday to tide them over. While walking around the classroom it is amazing to see what these kids take for granted. Pina (pineapple) chunks, Mango, aguacate (avocado), chayote (a large overly juicy pear), papaya, babacoa (star fruit), sapote (persimmon), guava, curuba (passion fruit), sapadilla (related to the kiwi), Lulo (don’t know what to compare it to, it is just delicious take my word for it), and endless others pack the kids lunchboxes. It is no wonder the roadside it littered with fruit stands and juice bars. This plate of ensalada especial con helado (special salad with ice cream, salad here usually refers to fruit not greens) easily fed 5 for less than $3.00.
