Looking for first hand information on this:
It has just been suggested by a friend that we get away for a couple of months this year and go fruit picking / backpacking.
I know you can do this all year round in OZ and NZ, and that Canada has a long fruit picking season (ending around August); also France, Spain and Italy do this too.
But has anybody actually done this; does it pay; whats the work like?
The way i hear it is you get free accommodation, food, use of the facilities and either a daily rate or paid by the Kg. In return you work shifts in the fields / orchards picking fruit.
If you want to move on you can have the owner call ahead to other locations, and pre arrange work.
Some of the online guides are saying earning rates of £30-£60 per day; can this be right.
Looking for anybody thats actually dont this - Not second hand info.

Fruit Picking / Backpacking in Europe, Canada, OZ and NZ ??
I don't have first hand knowledge, but I live in cetral Europe and I know people who do and have done this so I can tell you what I know from this.
In Europe, fruit pickers tend to go from east to west, meaning from poorer countries to richer ones, usually not for travel but to make money. Accomodation is not ideal, and unless you have your own car, travelling around is a bit difficult, on top of which if you don't know the native language- or even if you do- you should expect people to scam you.
From what I've heard NZ, you can pick fruit and live ok there. The money you make pays for your living expenses but not the extra stuff (this seems to be true most places). Remember that this is work people in that country generally don't want to do, so it's not highly paid.
In the end, if you pick fruit, choose a place where everyday you go there, it amazes you. If you are bored after a week, then you've chosen the wrong place.
Reply:If you are of Asian appearance then the immigration authorities will get suspicious and assume you are an illegal immigrant and round you up and deport you.
Reply:Fruit picking is shite. Takes all day, its knackering and you see bugger all of the country. Save your money and go on holiday.

CoWorker dropped my fruit cup?
I was already having a rotten morning when a coworker accidentally dropped my fresh fruit cup from the company's fridge. It was a fresh fruit cup I was so seriously looking forward to and it cost me $4.00. Should I (a) Ask for for $4.00 so I can go buy a new one (b) Forget about it (c) Ask her to buy me a replacement fruit cup tomorrow at the place I got it or (d) Let her buy me a fruit tomorrow from the place of her choice? Seriously this was one awesome looking fresh fruit cup.
CoWorker dropped my fruit cup?
What's the relationship? Is she a coworker you like, a supervisor, or what? What did she say?
If she has any sense she'll replace it. You may have waited too long, next time ask for the replacement right away. She'll think it's odd that you were brooding over the fruit all day. Also, don't use the company fridge. People do wierd stuff like eat or drop other people's food.
Reply:For Christ sakes let it go ... Do NOT Start a war over a fruit cup .
For future reference ask for a bag next time and leave it in the bag.
Reply:Even tho it was an accident, she should have offered some sort of compensation and apologised. If she didn't offer compensation, I would have said something right then to prompt her, like, "Figures. Now I have to go get something else to have for lunch." or "Now I have nothing to eat for break/lunch." Or, "Man! That cost me FOUR BUCKS!"
(for me, 4 bucks is a lot of money for a snack)
After that, it is in her hands. If she doesn't do the right thing, then all you can do is keep that in mind in future dealings with her and act in accordance with what you now know you can expect from her. Also consider packing your snack/lunch carefully if you're going to put it in the office fridge, to try to protect it from such clumsy, selfish people. Maybe the place you bought it from would tape the lid on, and put it in a bag for you?
Reply:Some days are diamonds. Some days are coal.
Unless the coworker volunteers or you're so desperate for money you'd eat your keyboard, forget about it.
If the coworker volunteers to replace the fruit cup then it should be from where you bought it - not of her choice.
Reply:Unless she offers, you should forget about it. The polite thing for her to to would have been to offer a replacement immediately, but not all people have manners. I don't know how long you've waited since it happened, but it's probably going to start looking strange if you ask her about it now.
Reply:b) forget about it, unless she offers to buy you another fruit cup
Reply:Next time you see her put something in the fridge, take it out and throw it away after she leaves. Make sure you push it way down in the trash. Hey, it WILL make you feel better! heh Especially since she didn't offer to get you another fruit cup!
Reply:what did she do say oops and then oh well. get your $4
Reply:Well, you answered your own question and you got a new, more expensive organic fruit cup. Sounds like a good day!
Reply:ask her to buy you another today while she goes out to lunch. Or she needs to get you some other lunch! You had a lunch she ruined it... she should replace it.
Reply:B.
Reply:Yes forget about it..it will only make you look cheap..she SHOULD replace it but if not...be the bigger person..not George Costanza
Reply:Quit being a fruit and forget the freakin cup already.....
Reply:b) Forget about it. Accidents just happen. Or maybe it was karma. Maybe there was some bad unseen bacteria in that fruit. The co-worker might have saved you from serious illness or even death. For good or ill, you just weren't meant to have that fruit cup. Let it go.
Reply:Just forget about it,she should offer to buy you one,or just buy one dont even offer.

What are your favorite fruit(s) and vegetable(s) to eat and why? what about your least favorites?
Just curious what types of fruits and vegetables people enjoy eating. Note that tomatoes and avocadoes (and I guess cucumbers as well, because they have seeds?) are fruits as well, even though we might tend to consider them as vegetables because they are neither sweet/sour as fruits generally are.
As for myself, I try to enjoy most fruits and vegetables but my favorites include (in no particular order):
fruit: banana, apple, mango, avocado, tomato (the latter two for guacamole!)
vegetable: enjoy most vegetables but prefer the more nutritious ones (e.g. greens, carrots, etc)
least favorite
fruits: grapefruit...its all right but has a bitter after-taste
vegetables: bitter gourd...umm...I prefer it when fried and chopped up into small pieces
The fruits which I listed as favorites were there because I like the way they taste and they're fairly easy to prepare before eating. I especially like the sweetness of bananas and the cleansing healthy feeling after eating an apple.
What are your favorite fruit(s) and vegetable(s) to eat and why? what about your least favorites?
fav. veggie: spinach...because it can be prep'd many ways and it always makes me feel healthy (and it's delicious, of course)
fav. fruit: pineapple...when they're ripe and in season, I can eat mountains of them!
least fav. veggie: brussel sprouts. even though they're tolerable as an adult, I'll never get the smell/taste out of my mind of when I was a child and was forced to eat them. I can still remember what overcooked brussel spouts and milk taste like together, because that's what I washed them down with. Yuck!
least fav. fruit: bananas. to me, fruit should be juicy and refreshing. Bananas are too heavy and "creamy."
Reply:My favourite fruit would be a very firm bananas.
My favourite vege would be leeks.
Can't offer a reason, they just are my favourites.
Least favourites would poor quality foods that are not fresh.
Don't think I can point the finger at either Vege or Fruit I don't like

Is canned fruit okay to eat if I can't eat most fresh fruits?
Hello. I have had a problem eating fresh fruit for quite a while now and am limited to strawberries, grapes, and bananas. Anytime I eat any other type of fresh fruit my mouth and throat will start burning and won't stop until many hours later. Does anyone know what could be going on? Ironically though I can eat any fruits if they are canned so would it be better if I buy the canned variety and rinse it with water than to not eat any fruit at all?
Is canned fruit okay to eat if I can't eat most fresh fruits?
You probably have an allergy to some emzime in the fresh fruit. Canning kills most of these enzimes. Canned fruit still has most of the fiber and nutrients of fresh fruit. The best canned fruit to buy is "in fruit juice" or "light syrup". Don't get fruit in "heavy syrup". Any fruit is better than no fruit at all.
Reply:Have you spoken with your doctor about possibly being allergic to the other fruits?
Reply:could be allergic, or it could be that other fruits contain more acid (citric), or possibly that they're causing acid reflux. Most likely you are allergic, and I doubt changing the way the fruit is cooked would help. Ask your Dr. for an allergy test, and what he/she recommends.
Reply:yes also frozen fruit is good all you do is defrost and microwave or add to favorite meals thats it
Reply:I can some what identify with you
and
YES
The simple processing (even in water) will eliminate the irritants.
I THINK it has to do with sex products in plants LIKE pollens
Reply:I've been told that the best fruits are: 1. Fresh 2. Frozen 3. canned.
Canned products contain a lot of sodium and not everyone wants that. Rinsing first does help a little.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.
Reply:Canned , frozen %26amp; dried fruit has very near the same amount of nutrients as fresh. Perhaps it is the acid in the fresh fruits that cause your symptoms. The water or syrup in the canned fruit would leach out some of the fruit acid, so rinsing them is a good idea. I'm not sure about frozen fruit; most is flash frozen so there may be just as much acid as fresh, and the same for dried. If you cook the fresh/ frozen/dried fruit, then rinse, it may relieve your symptoms as well.
Reply:i have a friend whos allergic to fruit but she can eat fruit if its canned, frozen cooked or whatever. she just cant eat raw fruit.

Is drinking fruit juice the equivelant of eating fruit?
Is drinking a glass or two of apple juice the same as eating two apples or something? My mom tells me to eat fruit, but I drink fruit juice instead. Is fruit juice just as good as fruit?
Is drinking fruit juice the equivelant of eating fruit?
No. But "Naked Juice" makes some pretty good smoothies. They contain 100% real fruit and not just concentrates. The percentages are found above the nutrition labels. Aim for those that are 100%....................................... there's nothing that can replace the fruit itself.
Reply:It depends on the juice. Apple juice is basically sugar. Apple cider is closer to drinking an apple, but is only available locally and for a limited time (it generally isn't pasteurized and has to be very fresh).
Most juices have too much sugar and not enough fiber in them. Getting one of those juicer things would help, but basically you should just eat the silly apple. They taste good.
Reply:depends on the type and brand of juice. Some fruit juices are full of sugar and stupid stuff like that. There are some 100% juices out there but you have to look and they will tell you how much of it is a serving of fruit.
Reply:depends on what juice. try like v8 splash or other all natural fruit juices. avoid the juices with alot of added sugars. the grat tasting juices are not usually equivelent to a piece of fruit, but v8 splash is.
Reply:No. Not even close. The most health beneficial part of the fruit, the antioxidants and phytonutrients in fruits break down within 4 hours upon exposure to oxygen and light. That's not all, we lose 50% within those 4 hours. Eat fresh fruit... it's what nature intended.
You might as well drink sugar water than fruit juices... both have the same health benefit -- none.
Reply:its not equivalent.. but yes it is still better than nuthing or even water or beer!!! if u eat fruits u can get all the benefits of tht fruit,, should eat the skin also... plus u get the fibre n chewing makes ur gums n teeth stronger.. so definitely eating is better than the juice...
Reply:Actually it isn't really. The actual apple contains carbohydrates called "complex carbs" these complex carbs are good for you because they supply a good source of energy. Some other complex carbs are: wheat, whole grains, bread etc. The juice of the apple is comprised of "simple carbs." An example of a simple carb is sugar. Sugar gives you a quick high and then a low. So in fact, eating an apple is actually healthier than just drinking apple juice because apple juice only contains the simple carbs and not the complex carbs. It's the difference between eating bread, and just eating sugar.
Reply:no
Reply:it depends what fruit juice fruit is healtheir but some fruit juices contain natural sugar in them like apple juice .I would say that one is ok but lots is bad lots of juices have a lot of sugar in them and some shops say sugar free but they sometimes are lieing.
Reply:You're mom is correct. It's better to eat fresh fruit.
Fruit juice tends to be higher in sugar especially apple juice.
Also eating fresh fruits will give your body more nutrients than the juice
Reply:Eating fruits is better. Juices removes the fibres while eating the real thing gives you the whole goodness, fibre and everything in.

Reply:It is actually healthier to eat fresh fruit than to drink fruit juice,because fruit juice has alot of sugar in it. Even the fruit juices that say 100% fruit juice,they still have alot of sugar. If you can't eat fresh fruit,then a 1/2 cup of fruit juice is equal to one piece of fresh fruit. The most fruit juice that people should drink in one day is one cup because it has alot of sugar in it,and too much sugar isn't good for your body.

How much fruit do you each on the average day?
Here is some interesting "fruit" information I just found on another website...
1000 calories of fruit is about:
A big bowl of cherries (about 50 cherries): 250 calories
1 pint of strawberries (100 calories)
15 apricots (250 calories)
3 mangoes (400 calories)
(That fruit, by the way, will provide 750% of your vitamin C, 385% of your vitamin A, 125% of your vitamin E, 110% of your vitamin B-6, as well as good amounts of magnesium (42%), phosphorus (42%), iron (65%), calcium (23%), thiamin (63%), riboflavin (77%), niacin (55%), and folate (55%))
1000 calories of fruit is about:
4 bananas (435 calories)
3 large oranges (250 calories)
2 pomegranates (200 calories)
1 large apple (125 calories)
(That fruit will provide 612.48% of your vitamin C, 268.04% of your vitamin B-6, as well as a good amount of vitamin E (49.72%), folate (70%), niacin (30%), iron (33%), and calcium (27%), phosphorus (30%), and magnesium (52%))

What kind of fruit is growing on my tree?
I have multiple citrus fruit trees in my yard in Sarasota, FL. Most of the fruit isn't very tasty and so I really don't care what they are. However, there is one tree that the fruit is so yummy and I just don't know what it is.
The fruit is small and round and the peel is orange. It looks like an orange and probably is some kind of orange. The fruit on the inside is similar to that of a ruby red grapefruit in color. However it doesn't taste at all like grapefruit. It is much sweeter, even more so than a ruby red. Also, it is much smaller than a grapefruit and not even as big as a very large orange. It is very juicy and a pain in the neck to peel. Some citrus peels easily - these do not. Also, there is a peculiar (and convenient) absence of seeds.
Does anyone know what this is? Here's an overview:
-baseball sized fruit
-orange peel
-reddish flesh
-very juicy
-exceptionally sweet, hardly any acidic flavor at all
-no seeds
-difficult to peel
-not grapefruit/orange (possible hybrid?)
What kind of fruit is growing on my tree?
ITS A BLOOD ORANGE! they have it at my hairsalon alot ( im a 13 yr old boy, my parents make me go) but it it exactly as your description. The lady that ate one said it was very good and tasty, and when i looked at it it was a dark reddish orange color. It was sooo hard to peel she used a knife cuz she didnt wanna break a nail.
Reply:maybe tangelo.hybrid mix of of orange and tangerine
Reply:blood orange.
The blood orange is a variety of orange (Citrus sinensis) with crimson, blood-colored flesh. The fruit is smaller than an average orange; its skin is usually pitted, but can be smooth. The juice is sweet but somewhat bitter and less acidic than that of regular table oranges.[1] The distinctive dark flesh color is due to the presence of anthocyanin, a pigment common to many flowers and fruit, but uncommon in citrus fruits. Sometimes there is dark coloring on the exterior of the rind as well, depending on the variety of blood orange. The degree of coloration depends on light, temperature and variety.[2]
The blood orange is a hybrid of ancient origin, possibly between the pomelo and the tangerine. It probably originated in Sicily.[1]

The fruit is small and round and the peel is orange. It looks like an orange and probably is some kind of orange. The fruit on the inside is similar to that of a ruby red grapefruit in color. However it doesn't taste at all like grapefruit. It is much sweeter, even more so than a ruby red. Also, it is much smaller than a grapefruit and not even as big as a very large orange. It is very juicy and a pain in the neck to peel. Some citrus peels easily - these do not. Also, there is a peculiar (and convenient) absence of seeds.
Does anyone know what this is? Here's an overview:
-baseball sized fruit
-orange peel
-reddish flesh
-very juicy
-exceptionally sweet, hardly any acidic flavor at all
-no seeds
-difficult to peel
-not grapefruit/orange (possible hybrid?)
What kind of fruit is growing on my tree?
ITS A BLOOD ORANGE! they have it at my hairsalon alot ( im a 13 yr old boy, my parents make me go) but it it exactly as your description. The lady that ate one said it was very good and tasty, and when i looked at it it was a dark reddish orange color. It was sooo hard to peel she used a knife cuz she didnt wanna break a nail.

The blood orange is a variety of orange (Citrus sinensis) with crimson, blood-colored flesh. The fruit is smaller than an average orange; its skin is usually pitted, but can be smooth. The juice is sweet but somewhat bitter and less acidic than that of regular table oranges.[1] The distinctive dark flesh color is due to the presence of anthocyanin, a pigment common to many flowers and fruit, but uncommon in citrus fruits. Sometimes there is dark coloring on the exterior of the rind as well, depending on the variety of blood orange. The degree of coloration depends on light, temperature and variety.[2]
