The Fruits that we Love

Recently, popular fiction story writer Binmaa Ibrahim Waheed published a fiction story named “aharenge hiyaalee dhuniye” at popular online news website mihaaru.com. Although, Binmaa is loved by most of his readers, some readers reacted negatively to this fiction due to its content that conveys a message like the quality of life in outer islands is low in comparison with Male’ City. Moreover, the story describes an outer island as a place where no delicious fruits are available as well as no beautiful beaches. The outer islands of the Maldives are famous for its beautiful beaches and coral reefs. In reality, almost all Maldivians love the taste of local fruits and vegetables grown in the Maldives. These fruits and vegetables are not only tasty, but also very nutritious.

While browsing the internet for a scientific name and common name of a rarely grown plant in my island, I came across several articles that provide details about different fruits grown across the world. One such article is the plants that fruits come from. The interesting thing about the article is it gives details about some of the fruits that are grown in our country. These fruits include, water melon, pomegranate, mango, papaya, pine apple, coconut tree and banana tree. The article also describes some fruits that are not commonly grown in the Maldives like olive, date, juniper berry, plum, avocado, and grape fruit. At the beginning of the article, the author described all these fruits as fruits that many people know and love. Therefore, it is evident that many people across the world love the taste of our local fruits. Here, I am providing the link to this interesting article http://twistedsifter.com/2012/12/the-plants-that-fruits-come-from/
