Playa, Havana, September 3, 2009 (SDP) The majority of Cubans were born after 1st. January 1959, which represents 70% of the current population of the island, known fruits that come from the island soil.
The most popular items with regular presence in the market are reduced to less than a dozen and include some citrus fruits, papaya papaya, mamey, mango, banana or banana, guava, coconut ... Other varieties appear on the open market or private way sporadic and some never show themselves.
We have already forgotten the tamarind with brown-colored flesh which prepares a delicious drink. Neither creamy seed varieties such as soursop, cherimoya, sugar apple and the rich and champolas that these fruits are prepared. Especially so refreshing soursop the stomach during the stormy days of summer island.
Where did stop to dry and sweeten sapodilla, mamey colorado with fleshy mass which prepares the best milkshakes and Santo Domingo which both flatters the palate when ripe. The cashew nut tightening the lips and nice-like seed head Seahorses which taste delicious after being roasted, entertains and meets whenever it is released from the shell, because it gives itching.
The plum and cherry are conspicuous by their absence, deprived of the jam to eat with crackers accompanied mamoncillo refresh. Cuban fruit whose honor the Benjamin Felix Santiago Caignet dedicated one of the most beautiful pages of the Cuban song.
two generations of Cubans know the wonders of these fruits before 1959 were sold in stalls all meats and vegetables and reached the outskirts of the cities deals on trucks accompanied by the cry of a street vendor. Unusually, apples known Russian and American.
In rural areas, many of these delicious fruit growing wild native shrubs and bushes beside the guasima and yagruma. What happened to them? Does the blockade has ended? If so, which of the blocks? Because unlike many nations of the world where arable land is a minor portion of the total land area, Cuba has 90% of its land unfit for agriculture. It seems as if the creator had wanted to give priority to our people so that they never lacked fruit.
fruits, besides the pleasure they produce and the recognized benefits to the human body are an identifier of the national culture. They perfume the air with a scent itself, are integrated in the culinary arts and are a source of inspiration for artists of all kinds. A nation is that all his work and all the attributes and elements that identify and between the attributes are the fruits.
The Cuban could ever have conceived of any misfortune but he could never imagine is that the soil of the island, fertile and generous, you could deny the sweetness of his heart. What happens to mother earth Cuban seems to deny the fruits of their children?
No one wants to delve into the answer, but everyone knows that the earth is the same and are the same sun, the same rain and the same wind that nourish the land. The man, however, remain the same, has changed. Now is not the one who cultivated his plot of land with things on his mind but with hopes for the future in mind and heart.
The land has not changed but the peasant than free competitor became a mere cog in the totalitarian machinery. This is sufficient reason for the absence of star apple and cañandonga to the shortage of lemon and guava.
