Why Kids Love Fruit So Much

Bananas aren't actually yellow when they're picked. Farmers harvest them completely

green and they turn yellow during shipping. That's why they're the perfect portable snack,

Strawberries contain more vitamin C than oranges, which is insane because we've been

lied to our whole lives about orange juice. When kids bite into grapes and hear

that pop sound, it's actually the cell walls bursting and releasing antioxidants directly onto their

tongue. That crunch from biting a fresh pear does more for their jaw development
