How many fresh fruit baskets have you sent to  business partners  and relatives over time?  How many pounds of fresh oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, tangelos, pears and apples and all the stuff that comes with it like nuts and chocolate have you had delivered to somebody else?  Now how often have you given  yourself a fruit basket?

If you’re like most   individuals  the reaction is probably never. 

Christmas is the big  time of year  for fruit baskets.  There’s just something unique about acquiring fresh fruit when it’s frigid , snowy and  blustery  outside.  It’s like getting a  sign   that summer  is coming .  Biting into a crunchy   D’Anjou pear or peeling a tangerine and popping a sweet  piece  into your mouth almost seems decadent when the ground outside is wintry and barren.  That’s the big a peel (pun intended) of fresh fruit baskets as holiday  presents .

That’s the way most people who live in cold climates see fruit baskets but not all of us.  Some  of us who are lucky enough to live in the half dozen states that produce citrus fruits are a bit more jaded.  While most Americans  have to settle   for the fruit they purchase in their grocery stores, which is probably   a couple of  weeks old, those of us in fruit cultivating states want, and get, fresh fruit.  There is a world of difference between the two.

So back to you.  Why don’t you deserve the same enjoyment  that you extend  to your  relatives ?  Why can’t you send your taste buds on a fresh fruit  trip ?   Does it just seem too  much ?  Well isn’t that half the pleasure of getting a fruit basket delivered to your home ?

Okay let’s rationalize this so its a little less painful .  You already know the good part about how delicious these fruits are, but did you know that citrus fruit has properties that can help prevent about a dozen different types of cancer?  All citrus fruit have, to one  way  or another, vitamins and enzymes that prevent the formation of abnormal cells. 

And then of course there is the boost to your immune system that vitamin C delivers .  How crucial is that with H1N1 floating around in the air.  This fruit basket that you are getting for yourself isn’t a personal  indulgence , it’s preventive healthcare!

So when that fruit basket of succulent golden goodness arrives and your spouse asks how much did it cost, you can respond “Don’t worry honey, I just saved us the cost of chemo” and not be telling an entirely untrue fabrication.
