Hello steamians;
I want to share with us my favourite fruits and their benefits.

So this is called star apple as common name, but the botanical name for it is Chrysophyllum albidum.
Chrysophyllum albidum_ is native to West Africa, including Nigeria. It's valued for its fruit, timber, and medicinal properties.
It's a tropical fruit with:
- Sweet, juicy pulp
- Milky latex (sap) in the skin
- Medicinal uses too
Star apple's advantages: - Rich in vitamins: Boosts immunity
- Antioxidant properties: Helps fight diseases
- Digestive aid: Good for gut health
Star apple can be used to produce: - Fresh juice: Sweet and refreshing
- Jams and jellies: Great for breakfast treats
- Wine: Fermented star apple drinks
Star apple can be eaten: - Raw: Scoop out the pulp and eat
- Juice: Blend into a refreshing drink
- Desserts: Add to salads, smoothies, or cakes
How to eat:
get the good and sweet star apple, wash it thoroughly with clean water, use ur incisors (front teeth) and bit out the up part that looks like a root, remove it and the start squeezing the nutrients into your mouth. It is wise you go fit the sweet ones, because you don't enjoy the slappy ones.

So my second best fruit is banana with a botanical Musa spp. (different species like Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana).
Bananas are awesome! They're like nature's candy – sweet, convenient, and nutritious. Nigeria's got loads of banana varieties too.
Bananas are:
- Nutrient-rich: Potassium, vitamins, fiber

- Nigerian staple: Plantains in porridge, chips, or aske
Banana can be used for so many things Like: - Banana bread
- Fritters (ake or banana balls)
- Smoothies
- Chips (fried or baked)
- Porridge (with plantain)
Bananas are packed with: - Potassium
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin B6
- Fiber
Good for energy and digestion.
How to eat:
get the ripe banana from a store, market or any source gotten from, wash thoroughly with clean water, then use your index, middle and thumb fingers to take off the pills, then eat.

My last is orange with botanical name as Citrus sinensis
Oranges! Sweet, juicy, and packed with vitamin C . Nigeria grows some tasty ones too.
Oranges are:
- Vitamin C powerhouse
- Good for immunity and skin

Or
After using knife to pill the first, you can slice it in two and squeeze the water into your mouth.
