Superfruits. Whats not to love about these gorgeous gifts of nature. Dubai is a desert landscape so our earth is not so fertile. Apart from beautiful palm trees fruiting dates twice a year, there isnt too much that grows naturally out here.
Being a lover of berries, I spend a fortune on the imported berries we get in the shops but the quality has a lot to be desired and is no comparison whatsoever to what is available in the west. The imported strawberries in particular are a disaster with the majority of them being hard and white in the center, yet still cost a small fortune!
Sweden on the other hand! 😀
This summer we spent a long time in Sweden and were lucky to live thru the berries and cherries in summer bloom. I mean, literally growing in the garden and forests in surrounding neighborhoods.
Walking thru the forests – my fantastic mother in law showed me a spot where blueberries were growing wild … so ofcourse we stopped and picked some up:
blueberries, strawberries and raspberries from the market:
