A FRUIT ENTHUSIAST'S DIARY

Some of our customers have asked what goes on behind the scenes at a UK-based exotic fruit company and the work that's involved to get weird and wonderful fruits to people's doors. Have you ever wondered the same? If so, read on. We hope you find it interesting.

This is the place you can gain an insight into the fruity adventures of Colin, founder of My Exotic Fruit. Being the founder of the UK's leading exotic fruit retailer, Colin has found himself immersed into the world of ultra-specialist food and the peculiar requests that come with it.

Think of the TV shows that document the lives of truffle hunters or caviar sellers and the extraordinary goings on they experience daily, that's Colin but with exotic fruit. 

The fascination with exotic fruit began in 2013 when he first visited Thailand. The following year he established the very beginnings of My Exotic Fruit, and 10 further trips to Asia and 9 years later, the passion for fruit is as strong as ever! His desire to learn about fruit grows with every year so he's started this blog series to connect with other fruity individuals to share knowledge and experiences.

Whilst Colin is most fond of exotic fruit found in the tropical regions, he is always on the hunt for newvarieties and takes a keen interest too in fruit cultivated in the UK and those we now regard as conventional fruits. You can expect varied content written by Colin, and we're sure there will be plenty to pique your interest.

"A Fruit Enthusiast's Diary" is a long-term project during which Colin aims to document his experiences dealing with some 2000 different fruits. Diverse experiences such as meetings with future state presidential candidates to discuss policies to promote local fruits for export, to sourcing fruits for Royalty and billionaires, providing hard to come by exotics for TV and blockbuster films to sourcing top quality new and interesting fruits for our ever-growing customer base. We never forget that you, our customer is the most important person in our business.

We can't wait to share his fruity missions here and hope you will enjoy learning more about the world of an exotic fruit dealer!

Not only will you hear about regular fruity encounters like farm tours but also look out for Colin's fruit reviews. Do you buy some fruits which never seem to ripen properly or maybe you struggle to identify perfectly ripe fruits when shopping?

Well, the reviews will be your perfect place to learn more about tropical fruits and help you decide what to purchase from www.myexoticfruit.com or elsewhere if you already have your own exotic fruit supplier.
