Steem4nigeria Accelerator Contest Week : My favorite fruit

Which fruit is your favorite and why?

We have different kinds of fresh fruits in Nigeria, and most of them are very useful to our health because they provide us with the good nutrients that our bodies need at the right time.

My favorite fruit is the orange, which usually grows on a tree. It is round and orange in color, with the ripe ones being the most common. Oranges are so sweet and it also contain vitamin C that's why people would like to eat them every day. In fact, people often recommend oranges for those who find it difficult to excrete for some days. Oranges play a crucial role in our body system, providing us with the required amount of nutritional benefits that the body needs all day long.

How much is your favorite fruit ?

The prices of oranges vary in my country, but they depend on the ones you wish to buy. The prices of oranges were not that costly back around the year 2020, but now the price of these fruits has skyrocketed, and to this day, people still buy them due to the essential nutrients they provide.

Most of the fruit sellers in Nigeria who usually sell by the roadside don't sell by weight like in other countries; instead, they prefer to sell by the piece so that the prices can be more affordable.

How often do you eat it , is it a seasonal fruit?

I eat oranges whenever I am craving them. In fact, I have eaten oranges on 2 days of this month. By the end of this month, I will have eaten a lot of oranges. Oranges take 3 years to grow when you first plant them at a young age. During this stage, you can continue to water them during the absence of rain, which is in the dry season. This will prevent your healthy orange seeds from dying.

Oranges are seasonal fruits that are mostly available around August to September in every year, but sometimes they can be found in all seasons, where everyone can enjoy them. I usually find oranges during this period because the taste is fantastic and one in a million.
