FRUITS

Although fruit should be eaten alone and on an empty stomach, adding a touch of salt, a hint of stevia, or herbs and spices will not hinder the superior cleansing and digestive properties of fruit. If you are on a yeast-conscious diet, fruits high in naturally occurring sugar might not be suitable for your lifestyle just yet.

Instead of opting for big fruit salads, eat one type of fruit at a time for ease of digestion, since different fruits have their own transit times. Melons, for example, take only 15 minutes to digest, whereas bananas might take 30 to 45 minutes. Below are some of our favorite ways to enjoy a mono-fruit dish, but feel free to experiment with salt, stevia, herbs, and spices to discover your own favorite flavor combinations.

I personally prefer to eat my fruit whole and unseasoned, as nature intended. But, in the spirit of the modern gourmet, we want to show you how fruit can become a cutting-edge gastronomic showpiece—so simple yet powerfully dynamic and ideal for entertaining.
