Wild fruits are very important because they grow naturally, and they provide natural food elements and vitamins that are essential for the body to function very well, and defend itself from diseases. Wild fruits can be found locally, in various parts of our regions.

Wild Fruits like baobab are used to make natural juices. Women are mostly involved in making these juices and they get substantial incomes from their sales. It is said that they are a good source of vitamin C and they are very tasty. HONEY honey is not a fruit, but bees make it from the flowers of trees, and mostly wild flowers which eventually become fruits. Some of these fruits are not directly consumed by human beings, but are indirectly consumed when we take honey. Perhaps that is why honey is used by many people all over the world in many ways, for medicinal, and other various reasons.

In my country, some people use honey to cure wounds, cuts and bites. it is used to remedy coughs and sore throat, and if mixed with cinnamon, it is believed that it can ease blood pressure, and cure stomach ulcers. WILD FRUITS IN GENERAL In my country, wild fruits are in general an attraction. People have a big appetite for wild fruits, and whenever we see them we just develop a longing for them. They are tasty, and we just love to eat them. This makes me believe that we take in lots and lots of essential vitamins and medicinal elements without knowing it.
