Alot of my childhood evolves in eating this fruit. I used to climb the water apple tree in our backyard. I can feel the fresh breeze on top. Children that time love eating them.

Do you know about water apple? Water apple is a fruit that contains a lot of water. No wonder it's called water apple,haha. This fruit comes from Southeast Asia. We usually see this fruit within the garden or someplace. Maybe because it is easy to plant.

I was surprise to know that it can control diabetes. Are you diabetic? Or maybe a little worried about this disease, because one of your family have it? With this fruit, you can control this disease or prevent from it. Because this fruit has a natural sugar, so it will not break sugar composition in your own blood. And especially this fruit contains jambosine. Jambosine? What is it? It's a substance that can prevent or controls essence to become sugar in the blood. Isn't it amazing you can prevent diabetes just in our own backyard,or your neighbors backyard by eating water apple. Imagine all the healthy options we have if we will just care to read.

Saw this in the neighborhood, and I just remembered how fun it was eating them. Maybe that's why I'm not diabetic even if I eat too much sweet. But I'm just surprised how children these days ignore this fruit anymore.
