Fruit Stew Vegan Plant-Based Raw Food Recipe
Fruit Stew is super healthy, sweet, spicy, citrusy, and totally delicious. Make in 5 minutes. Eat this as is or over rice. Add other fruit. The more the merrier!

This seems like a summery dish because of the tropical fruit, and it IS delicious when it’s warm out, but mango and papaya are available all year round in the US and most other places.

Somewhere, mangoes and papaya are being grown and harvested all the time. All. The. Time.
Some varieties are easier to find at certain times of the year, but they’re all delicious and will go well in this fruit stew.

This makes me happy.
In this fruit stew, the sweet fruit tastes amazing with the heat of the jalapenos and red pepper. A little salt, and ohhhh. Perfect.
Just make sure the fruit is ripe. For mango and papaya both the flesh with give to gentle pressure.

My favorite cucumbers to grow and to use are pickling cucumbers. They’re the smaller more wrinkly ones that are usually available year round as well. They’re not nearly as watery as the larger slicing cucumbers. Use what you can find or have on hand, of course.
Papayas have seeds that are peppery and delicious as well as nutritious. You can add a few to your fruit stew, if you like. Just save them when you scoop them out and add a tablespoon and stir in.

These are really beautiful. Like art.

Check out this Frida Kahlo work. Art wasn’t her only passion, she loved food and cooking and hosting raucous dinner parties.

Mangoes and papayas aren’t just pretty, they’re full of digestive enzymes, especially the papaya, which contains papain,
amylase, and protease enzymes. These enzymes help in carbohydrate and protein digestion and nutrient availability and absorption.
