9 Delicious Summer Special Fruits of Pakistan
It is not uncommon for Pakistanis to crave their fruits when living or traveling abroad. Due to their quality, taste and sweetness, fruits of Pakistan cannot be compared to fruits found anywhere else in the world. Full of rich minerals, vitamins, and amazing medical qualities, the taste is unique to our homeland.
Check out our list of delicious summer fruits to indulge in this summer:
1. Watermelon
It’s an all time favorite fruit for most Pakistanis especially because of its sweet and refreshing quality to combat the deadly heat. And the feeling one gets if given the middle part, without the seeds, is quite invigorating.
2. Mangoes
It is widely known that nothing can beat the sweetness of mangoes in Pakistan. They’re just too hard to resist. Pakistanis abroad often request their relatives to send cartons to them no matter the distance.
3. Falsay (Grewia)
Native to Southern Asia, it’s famously used as a chilled summer drink, or eaten with sprinkled black salt. Oh, the sweet and sour taste of this fruit is heavenly!
4. Apricots
These beautifully orange colored fruits with their velvety skin are full of beta-carotene and fiber. They’re also a cash crop for many households in Gilgit-Baltistan region where the apricots are extremely sweet and tasty.
6. Peaches
Peaches and apricots are cousins, they say. It is a traditional crop of Northern area of Pakistan, and has a distinct aroma. Due to its delicious flavor and high demand, farmers have also aimed at foreign markets for export.
7. Plums
Pakistani plums known as aloo bukhara in Urdu, are extremely juicy, and tasty. Even the ones without the juice, end up leaving a sweet and sour taste. Their chutneys are so tangy, and have great medical benefits.
8. Jamun (Jambolan or syzygium)
Native to the Subcontinent, Jamun, when sprinkled and shaken up in black salt are so delectable that they’re hard to put down until the whole bowl is finished.
9. Lychee
Pakistani Lychee industry has immense potential and prospects because of its thick, juicy pulp and amazing taste. Mostly it is grown in Southern Punjab during the peak hot dry weather. It is also hard to export it because it remains best when consumed fresh.
