Fruit 1 contains this fruit:
raspberry, blackberry, mango, lime, blackcurrant, redcurrant, lychee, kiwi
Some of the fruit in this vocabulary set might not be familiar. I put in some extra fruit-related words in the notes too.
Raspberry, blackberry, blackcurrant and redcurrant are soft fruits from the more northern countries of the Northern Hemisphere. They’re delicious for breakfast or in puddings and fruit salads.
Blackcurrants are one of my favourite soft fruits, blackberries my second favourite and raspberries my third favourite. Redcurrants? Well, I get a huge crop of redcurrants each year from the bush in the garden, and it’s rather difficult to use them up. They have a very sharp flavour – not to everyone’s taste.
Lychees are from China; inside the hard red shell, they have white flesh and a powerful scent.
A mango is a delicious yellow tropical fruit with a very scented taste.
A lime is similar to a lemon, but it’s green, a bit less sour than a lemon, and with a different flavour.
Kiwi fruit originally come from New Zealand. They have a furry skin which you have to peel.
