National Tropical Fruit Day

18 Jul 2025 by Ted Escobedo   1 min read

July 18 celebrates National Tropical Fruit Day. This fruity National Day celebrates the variety of exotic tropical fruit from around the world and gives us the opportunity to get a taste of some sweet facts, too.
Tropical fruits grow in regions where the weather his hot and humid in regions we call the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Asia, Africa, Central and South Americas, and the Caribbean produce some of the most delicious tropical fruits in the world.
National Tropical Fruit Day presents an opportunity to snack, cook, and sample tropical fruit all day long such as: Bananas, Coconuts, Mangoes, Pineapples, Avocados, Kiwi and Papayas.
Many people refer to tropical fruit as a superfood because they are full of vitamins and minerals. They contain protein-digesting enzymes that reduce inflammation, including kidney inflammation. Because they are also rich in potassium, eating tropical fruit helps regulate blood pressure and helps in maintaining a healthy heart. In addition, tropical fruit contains Vitamin C, which removes impurities from the body. Vitamin C also provides a natural defense mechanism to help fight off infection.
