All seasonal fruits are good for particular geography where it is grown. In a way its nature's remedy for the body but care must be taken for selection to see that the fruits are grown under natural conditions. Fruits and Vegetables grown out of seed are more natural then the seeds bought out. If the seeds of the vegetable and fruits are used to plant, they have vitality and life since they have power of reproduction and hence full of energy and vitality.

If the skin of any fruit is very thin it can be eaten with the skin but in modern days one need not eat with the skin for it may have preservatives. Thick skin fruits mean you must eat the inside and skin to be thrown out. For example, sweet lime, orange, water melon etc... with thick skin. Apple, Guava have thick skin. And if the seeds can be separated from the fruit means nature tells you to throw the seeds like lemon, orange and Satkudi. If the seed, are along with gel like in tomato, figs, Guava means it is to eaten along with seeds. It is clearly indicated by nature which fruit is to be eaten with and without seeds.

Banana

Please see that skin is thinner. This will avoid chemical ripening. Green colour normally indicates not fully ripe. It is good if the banana is half ripened on the plant and it ripens naturally till it reaches the household. But now a days most of the commercial people are ripening the fruits by unnatural methods.

Apple

The shape of apple naturally is like heart. The apple should not be shinning, polished which is easily visible by naked eyes. In market varieties of apple are available. If apple for same volume is heavy means its a better stuff to eat. Means more juicy and not like atta. Present day apple should never be taken with skin. (Even though nature has provided it to be eaten with skin). Through thin skin of fruits, it may absorb preservative inside. It is advisable to remove the skin thickly. Anyway one has to use common sense, which is not common these days and hence known as uncommon common sense. Generally Apple are available in winter and also advisable to be eaten in winter and Mango are available in summer, right fruit for summer but to be soaked in normal water in a earthen ware, wipe and then eaten after removing the skin.
