π LITTLE HISTORY OF FRUIT BOWLS
Fruit bowls date back centuries and were enjoyed in ancient cultures as symbols of abundance, freshness, and celebration. From Roman feasts to modern brunch tables, fruit salads have always represented simplicity, health, and natural sweetness.
They became especially popular in summer kitchens when fresh fruit was plentiful and cooking felt too heavy.
π FORMATION & FLAVOR MAGIC
The beauty of this dish lies in contrast:
- Sweet + tangy
- Juicy + crisp
- Soft + crunchy
Every bite is different, yet perfectly balanced. Thatβs why no two fruit bowls ever taste the same β and thatβs the magic.
