Contest: Seasonal Fruit of My Country

Which fruit is the most popular in your country that is available in the market during the season?

Watermelon.
At this season of time (rainy/wet), watermelons are the most popular or one of the most popular fruits in the market now. You can literally find it everywhere; even in stalls in the community.
In the market, you'd be greeted by the sight of watermelons at most stands; coming in different sizes, shades of green. And shapes, since a few might have developed weird structures while growing.

Is that fruit exported from your country to other countries?

Yes, but not at a very high rate or demand.
Watermelons are grown in Nigeria (especially the northern region), it is as well grown in other countries outside. Hence the low rate of demand by them and export to them.

What is your favorite fruit and what are its benefits to the human body?

Funnily, this fruit mentioned above is my favorite (or one of my favorites). Yes, I am a huge fanatic of the fruit, watermelons.
Weirdly, the sight of the smooth, round and green back of watermelons excites me in some way which reminds me of the beautiful deep-red or pink colour of the insides followed by its exquisite sweet taste and juicy flesh.
The benefits of eating this fruit are due to it being filled with:
Vitamins A and C, potassium, antioxidants and high moisture content.
All these put together in it and on getting into the body provides it with:

• Ease digestion as a result of the high water content
• Well functioning heart and immune system.
• Reduction in cell damage.
• Reduction in blood pressure.
• Improves the skin texture.

Have you ever sold fruits from your home or garden trees in the market? If so share your experience (optional).

Nope.
Grew fruits before (banana, pineapple), but never sold them. It was grown, harvested and eaten at home by the family members and people around.

Done with my piece. I'm inviting:
