List your top 5 favorite fruits.
Let’s face it: fruit is nature’s candy. Juicy, sweet, colorful, and often shaped like things you’d find in a Looney Tunes episode. But beyond their yumminess, fruits are also spiritual powerhouses and vitamin-packed gifts from above. Here are 5 fruits you should be munching, crunching, or slurping. There’s also a dash of Scripture. Enjoy some divine health benefits. Don’t miss a poem that might just make your banana split.

Fig – The O.G. Snack of Eden
Why Eat It?
Figs are fiber-rich, great for digestion, and contain calcium and antioxidants. Basically, they’re a spa day for your intestines.
Biblical Boost:
Adam and Eve used fig leaves to hide their shame (Genesis 3:7). So even if you’re not spiritually naked, you might still need some fig protection… from bad cholesterol.
Holy Thought:
God didn’t kick them out of Eden because of figs. Just sayin’.

Pomegranate – Heaven in a Hard Shell
Why Eat It?
Packed with polyphenols and vitamin C, this jewel of a fruit fights inflammation and may even help with memory. Forgetting where your keys are? Try a pomegranate before panicking.
Biblical Boost:
In Exodus 28:33-34, pomegranates were embroidered onto priestly robes. If it’s good enough for high priests, it’s good enough for your fruit bowl.

Grapes – The Biblical Gushers
Why Eat It?
Heart-healthy, hydrating, and bursting with antioxidants. Plus, grapes are basically pre-wine. Respect.
Biblical Boost:
In John 15:5, Jesus said, “I am the vine; you are the branches.” Grapes are spiritually supportive. And you can eat the sermon afterward.

Olives – Salty Little Miracles
Why Eat It?
Okay, technically a fruit. Olives give you healthy fats and are great for your heart and brain.
Biblical Boost:
Noah knew things were turning around when a dove brought back an olive branch (Genesis 8:11). That’s fruit delivering peace—take that, fast food.

Apple – The Most Misunderstood Fruit
Why Eat It?
Keeps doctors at bay, yes. Apples are high in fiber and vitamin C, and they come with built-in portion control (unless you’re a horse).
Biblical Boost:
The Bible never actually says it was an apple in Eden. That poor fruit has been getting blamed for centuries. Let’s give it a break and just enjoy the crunch.

Short Grace Before the Fruit Feast:
“Lord of the orchard and vine,
Thank You for fruit so fresh and fine.
Bless this bounty, sweet and bright,
Nourish our bodies, fill us with light.
Amen.”
A Zany Fruit Poem to End Your Reading:
“Ode to the Juicy Crew”
Apples are crisp, they crunch like a champ,
Figs wear their seeds like a disco lamp.
Grapes hang in clusters like gossiping grapes,
Spilling the tea on your antioxidant shapes.
Olives are oily, but holy and bold,
Pomegranates burst like rubies of old.
Fruit is divine, a gift so sublime,
Except when a banana bruises before its time.
So eat them with joy, and maybe with flair,
And never trust a melon with suspicious hair.
Go forth and be fruitful—literally!


I’m quite much into apples, and the local apple-juice too.
