yea completely raw, no point in cooking fruit.

what are your favorite fruit recipes? or at least the most unusual?

I mostly just eat whole fruit. Every time I got a blender for smoothies it broke really fast so I gave up. Sometimes I make sorbet with this sorbet maker I have. Just push frozen banana / grapes / mango in it and out comes sorbet. I also ate iceburg lettuce wraps everyday. I posted the recipe on f/vegkitchen once.

what fruits do you eat the most? how much do you grow yourself?

Nowadays almost all the fruit I eat I grow myself. In December I only have citrus, pitaya, passionfruit, avocado, peppers and myrtle to pick (and nuts). My staple food was always tomato. I ate tomatoes everyday in wraps and salads, plus whatever tree/vine fruit was in season. Grapes are my fave fruit, and watermelon and pitanga.

EDIT: Now that I'm eating cooked stuff, I buy several bags of cheap eggplant or zuccini and freeze it. Haven't grown those myself yet but if I decide to keep eating cooked food I'll grow them in spring. I can't grow tomatoes any more because of blight / climate change so have to buy them and they're my staple food and the price fluctuates a lot - in the summer they got really expensive and I had emergencies that drained me of cash so I had to eat rice with tomato paste instead. They're cheap again now that it cooled down tho.
