Fresh seasonal fruits are rich in nutrients and full of flavour. However "fresh" is sometimes relative. It may be several days before produce gets eaten after it is picked, during which time the flavour and vitamin content deteriorate. Therefore, consume fruits and vegetables soon after buying them and avoid storing them in the refrigerator for long periods.

4 kiwis 8 dried apricots 3 dried figs 1 tbsp. crushed walnuts 1/2 tbsp. chopped pistachios 2 small containers of plain yogurt 1 tbsp. cream 1 tbsp. granulated sugar 2 tbsp. grenadine syrup Juice of half a lemon |

- Combine the apples with the dried fruits; add the yogurt, cream and sugar and combine gently.
