When Carat CHEUNG was 12 to 13 years old, she and her family migrated to Canada, where she finished her studies. Canada is a large producer of fruits. Its people live a regular and ordered life. Residing in the country for a long time, Carat eventually managed to adopt a healthy lifestyle and develop a habit of eating fruits.
Feasting on Healthy Fruits in Canda
Carat has fond memories of life in Canada. She said, “Fresh seasonal fruits such as apples, oranges and bananas are available at all time in Canada. There are also a plentiful supply of strawberries and blueberries. Every year at harvest time, orchards are open to the public for ‘pick-your-own’ activities. You can find fruits growing in clusters on trees. Plump strawberries and blueberries can be seen everywhere in the fields. Visitors are allowed to eat all they can and bring home some fruits to eat or make jams.”
In Canada, many people grow fruit and vegetables in their backyards. Carat also had some fig trees at home. She recalled, “During the harvest season, we used to pick fig fruits and share them with neighbours, family and friends.”
