Tag: Post dinner fruit

According to a study reported by the FAO, seven of the top ten fruit-consuming countries are in Asia, with China being the largest consumer. This deep-seated appreciation for fruit extends to a common practice seen across many Asian cultures: serving fruit after dinner. While it may seem like a simple dessert, this tradition is rooted in a rich tapestry of cultural customs, perceived health benefits, and social etiquette.

According to nutrition experts, the idea that eating fruit after dinner causes fermentation and indigestion is a myth for most healthy people. In reality, consuming the right fruit after a meal can be a light, nutritious, and satisfying way to aid digestion and promote restful sleep.
