AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE ON FRUITS

Fruits are generally sweet and high in fiber. They have a laxative and thus a cleansing effect. Vata people should not attempt fruit fasts because they require more substantial food.

Early summer is the best time of year for berry consumption. Late summer is best time of year for apples, peaches, and fleshy fruits. Early spring is the best time of year for grapefruit. Lemons may be eaten from January through July.

Fruits and Non-Violence

Fruits have a symbiotic relationship between animals. Plants offer their fruits freely in exchange for seed propogation. For this reason, Ayurveda considers fruit consumption to be non-violent, and thus lists many fruits as sattvic in quality.

Fruits, bacteria, and parasites

Any food loved by humans is also loved by parasites. Those infected by bacteria or parasites including candida should be careful with yummy, easy to digest fruits.
