Are your kids like this with fruit?

[mrsbeeton999]

Grapes - 2 thirds get eaten instantly the rest get ignored til binned
Satsumas- nobody touches them until I eat one in front of them then they remember they exist and eat them
Apples - ignored unless they’re truly desperate
Bananas- eaten instantly one week, ignored til they get used in a smoothie the next week
Strawberries- eaten instantly except 2 slightly pale ones left in tub
Raspberries- demolished before shopping is unpacked
Pears and grapefruit - all left for me luckily

All of us are like this! Exactly! (Looking at mottled banans and sad bag of apples in kitchen now.

We get through vast amounts of grapes, blueberries and satsumas. Bananas get eaten in spades some weeks, others they get left to go brown. Strawberries are somewhere in the middle.

Berries get demolished
Watermelon and apple are populate IF I chop them up

Any M&S prepared fruit is chosen over anything else

Similar! Apart from they both like pears and I never buy grapefruit. Also, I buy the big oranges instead of satsumas as the baby loves them. We share one most days after lunch.

We also go through lots of blueberries.

100%. Although I also have to factor in DS who will happily eat his body weight in a particular fruit one day and the next day look at me like I'm trying to poison him by serving them. Raspberries, I'm looking at you.

Oh yes tubs of prepared pineapple could bankrupt me. If I was a millionaire I’d have a fridge full of prepared fruit it is amazing (but I hate all the packaging) The thing I miss most now I’m homeworking is the lovely fruit platters we had with lunches

My 3yo would happily eat fruit all day (and biscuits, I'm no braggy saint!) We buy 1 pack strawberries, 1 pack grapes, 5 bananas, 5 satsumas and 5 apples a week and all are gone within 7 days. DH on the other hand never touches the stuff!

My DD will eat berries in less time than should be humanly possible, always wants bananas when we're doing the shopping list but has to be tricked/begged into eating them, thinks peeling apples is the best fun ever but won't eat the bastard things and forgets satsumas even exist unless I want to eat one in which case as soon as I've peeled it she does the blinky eyed 'pleeeeasse can I have it mommy'.

Frozen berries defrosted in the microwave to a hot runny saucy consistency are like Ambrosia from the gods as far as she's concerned, will just sit and eat a bowlful with a spoon and blissful look on her face.

Exactly like this!

Satsumas- needs to be told to eat one, doesn't like peeling them but doesn't like the easy peel ones.
Apples- must be crisp and tangy and thinly sliced by me.
Pineapple- must be cut up and put in icecream container in fridge by me, eaten in two days.
Tomatoes- eaten whole straight from fruit bowl
Grapes- eaten if put in front of teen, does not remove them from fridge himself.
Banana- Frozen and put in smoothie only, doesn't like texture.
Strawberries- must be cut up by me.

My ds had a serious M and S mango habit

It seems to go in phases. They'll have a banana or grape craze for a week or two, suddenly "go off" them. They even do this with strawberries and raspberries if they've had them a lot. Me and I are astounded because (old gimmer alert) these were a great when we were young and you only got them in May/June.

I agree with pp s saying fruit that needs cutting up gets ignored. I've taken to buying precut mango, pineapple and watermelon as I was fed up throwing rotten ones away!

Oh and don't forget the youngest having a horrendous habit of taking one bite out of an apple, changing his mind and sticking it back in the fruit bowl, usually so the bite isn't seen and there is a whole bowl of one-bite-out apples 🤦😝

My 6yo DD will claim she’s “on” or “off” a certain fruit each week So she’ll be “on” bananas one week so I buy a bunch the following week and it’s “oh I’m off bananas this week!”

Yes, definitely. Grapes and berries always go instantly, bananas and plums are popular one week then barely touched the next week, apples and pears are a last resort and satsumas tend to get forgotten because they can’t be bothered peeling them.
